The Eglin Aero Modellers will host the Emerald Coast Beachcomber Pattern Classic Saturday and Sunday Oct 16-17 2010. The field will be available for practice flying all day on Friday, 30 April. This is the first contest hosted by the Eglin club in almost 10 years. The contest is open to all AMA members who would like to attend.

The flying field is at Test Site C-3, in Niceville, FL on State Route 285, three miles North of College Boulevard. See the Eglin Aeromodellers' website for detailed map and field rules: www.eglinaeromodellers.org. Our runway runs North-South and features a 400 ft by 50 ft smooth asphalt surface for take-off and landing.

The entry fee is $30. We are planning on flying all classes, AMA 401 Sportsman, 402 Intermediate, 403 Advanced, 404 Masters, and 406 FAI. FAI will fly P-11 on Saturday and F-11 on Sunday. We will use contestant judging. The plan is to fly six rounds, four on Saturday, and two on Sunday. We will run a lunch concession on Saturday and beverage concession on both days. We have limited power outlets available for electric flyers. Trophies will be awarded through third place in all classes. If there is enough interest, I will set up a Saturday evening dinner/social at one of our local eateries.
