Pilots meeting will be at 8:00 am Saturday to accommodate expected heavy attendance. We will fly one flight line early in the morning facing South with take off and landing being either a 0 or a 10 to keep the sun out of the box and then switch to normal procedure with 2 flight lines facing East with take off and landing being scored in AMA classes after the sun is high enough. This will allow us to fly more rounds. We may be able to fly 2 flight lines in the morning on opposite ends of the field. All classes should be ready to fly at 8:00 am.
Any AMA legal aircraft is OK for Sportsman class. FAI will fly P on Saturday and F on Sunday.
Pilot registration will be $40 which will include a BBQ Dinner Saturday night.
Food
Concessions available for lunch both days.
Field
The field will be open for practice Thursday and Friday at 10 am. We have a brand new charging station and available electricity throughout the pits for charging
The field is located just east of Bryan/College Station. From College Station, head north on Hwy 6 to Hwy 21. Take Hwy 21 East for 4.75 to the second blinking yellow light, FM 2776, in Wixon Valley. Turn left and head north for .4 of a mile. We are the second entrance on the left. The runway is a well-maintained grass runway 900 ft x 200 ft.
Saturday Evening
We will have a free Night Fly from 6:00 pm to ?? Even if you don’t have a night fly plane, stick around and watch the show. Dinner will be BBQ from the world-famous Fargo’s BBQ - dinner-only tickets will be $10 for spouses, children and non-pilot guests.
Lodging
College Station is the home of Texas A&M University. Every hotel chain you can imagine is here in our little town. The Best Western, 1920 Austins Colony Pkwy, Bryan, TX 77802, phone: 979.731.5300 is highly recommended and a short drive from the field. RVs are welcome at the field at no cost; no hookups. This is an away weekend for Texas A&M football. I would highly recommend comparing rates at www.trivago.com for best prices and results.
Things to bring
Bring your shelter. We have a shaded pit area, but it isn’t huge. Bug spray. Our varmits aren’t that bad, but we do have a few.
