Where can I find directions to the field?

Does anyone have any recommendations for motels close by?

Looks like the event is going to be well attended by the all the pilots registered so far.

Thanks.

There is a Best Western Inn within a Mile or so from the field. Nothing in San Diego is cheap in August. San Diego is the number one U.S. tourist destination this summer.

If the wind is from the West as it normally is, we will be flying from right to left.

If that is for friday practice it has to be by appointment only. contact Frank the club president if that need to be arranged. As of tonight he said no one had made that request yet.
The meeting was logistic in nature. Parking will be the biggest issue in my opinion , carpooling or tailerpooling in this case is advised. If you plan on spectating be prepared to walk a little from the additional parking area they have mowed for the event. The club is a great group of RC addicts and look forward to making this a very fun event. See ya there, Chris.

So we need to make reservations for practice flying on Friday afternoon by contacting club president Frank Gagliardi? I grabbed Frank's phone number from a club newsletter on the site, couldn't find an email address for him. 858-271-4430.

I'll give him a call tomorrow to request the field be open for practice in the afternoon.

How many pilots are planning to fly on Fri afteroon?

Thanks.

Steve

Just found Frank's email on the IMAC website. I've emailed Frank copy to Tim Attaway to request the field be open Fri afternoon.

[rpmrpm]

Correct. If you do not get him today all pm you his cell#.
Remember this field is on a military base, so a club member has to escort you on and off the field and has to stay with you the entire time. This will be the case for the event also, a member of the club will be stationed at the gate to clear your entry and exit from the area. Ever have a MP find you on a active base with out a host. I've heard it's not to fun!!! Frank will be very accommodating.

[see_e_oh]

Confirmed with Frank that the field will be open noon to 4pm on Friday. I will call him when I arrive for him to escort me.

Please contact Frank directly if you plan to practice on Friday.

Looking forward to a great event.

Thanks to Frank and the Miramar RC flyers for hosting us all!
