Gateway IMAC Challenge 09/11/10 Pontoon Beach, IL USA

I know it's a little early, but I thought I would go ahead and start this to see how many people might be coming who aren't on the IMAC site.

I am also going to attempt to download some pictures of the new field.

Any questions I would be glad to answer.

The field is L shaped. There is a runway that runs north and south, you face east for this one, and there is a runway that runs east and west and you face north for this one. Each runway is obviously grass and is 175 X 500 ft.

I know a couple of years ago at the old field people were swimming to their planes, the new field has really good drainage and that won't be a problem.

Here is the current list signed up on IMAC's web site.

Chris Scheldt Basic 6193 835103 Spread
Mark Chronister Basic 5898 738093 Spread
Jerry Ream Basic 6185 687787 Spread
Bruce Kern Basic 4234 218702 Spread
Chad Moroni Basic 6128 901858 Spread
Ron Freeman Sportsman 4485 761453 Spread Yes
Roger Russell Sportsman 3721 5288 Spread


Sorry about the quality of the pictures. Was in a hurry when I took them.

Sorry the C-130 is not part of the flying club.

I accidentally downloaded it.

It was one of the airplanes for the Fair St. Louis Airshow 2010 and we caught a picture of it at the Cahokia, Parks airport.

I think I will make it as well depending on how hectic school is around that time.

Hi all,

Just thought I would post the GPS address for the field for your convenience. It is:

285 Bruns Rd, Granite City, Il

We are actually located in Pontoon Beach but the address is Granite City.

You are going to want to fly it. Download the basic sequence to start... come out when I'm out there. We'll go through it and you'll have it in just a few flights. From there... with a contest under your belt... see if you want to try sportsman next year.
