Default 2009 Chatham CAN-AM IMAC shindig

Hey kids...
Welcome to the Chatham CAN-AM in 2 weeks Sept 12,13, the last NC IMAC contest before the NC finals in Wheeler.

Looking forward to seeing y'all and I promise better weather than last time. Well I hope..
We've got some nice prizes from Smart Fly and maybe more.

There are registrations on both the IMAC website http://www.mini-iac.com/Home/Control...8/default.aspx
and on the Canadian Scale Aerobatics website http://www.peneloperc.com/index.php?...=145&Itemid=51

For those that haven't been before, we have a nice 6 acre flying field with unobstructed approaches. We'll be flying 2 flightlines, with all classes and some Freestyle- I'll have a good sound system on hand to liven it up!

There is plenty of room for camping, and we have a clubhouse building that you can charge batteries if needed. There will be a concession stand for lunches.

If the group wants to again, we'll go for a good time dinner at the steakhouse... apparently they have beer... and maybe a drumset Mike M!

Our field GPS coordinates-- 42.289692, -82.208517

Map to the field-- http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en...=16&iwloc=addr
And a hotels list-- Super8 and Travelodge in Chatham are probably the most convenient.

Let's see some more registrations in advance so we can get geared up please guys!
BTW this contest counts in the NC points race...

Looking forward to it!

Thanks
Don

Hey Ward,
last year was poor due to weather, but the year before we had about 40 contestants!
It was a great time.
Hope you can make it!

In 2008 it got very wet and windy, lots of pilots came and tried to wait out the rain but that didn't work.
We still had a good time visiting RM classic cars and drooling over some very rare and gorgeous cars.

Don, I think you are going to have to throw in another tour of your shop to help sweeten the deal for some people.
