The following event is cancelled for 2016. The Muncy club has likely lost the field due to the potential of a horse farm operation being started on the site. Stay tuned for updates...

Hi Steve,

Please update the Ottawa Aero-tow as follows:

Ottawa Aerotow 2016
Arnprior, Ontario, Canada
September 10 and 11, 2016
Club website: http://www.arccclub.com/
Event: http://arnpriorradiocontrolclub.com/...tawa-aero-tow/

[Steve P]

Howdy folks. Happy New Year!

Any update or additions to the list???

Unfortunate news to report -- the Sky High event will not occur in 2016. Even worse, there is a good chance the Muncy Flyers field is lost. And what a spectacular soaring site it was! So glad I attended both events (though I could have done without losing my Antares last year). The site is planned to be a horse boarding operation and that beautiful flat field may end up with a new barn upon it. The club has been told not to expect to be able to operate out of there beginning this spring. We shall see.

[stevekremer]

That is a bummer. It is a very nice field to fly from and very close to me.

Updated list in Post #1:
- Added firm dates for NARCA, Huntsville, AL, October 6-9.
- Added IVSM 2016 July 9-16. Stay tuned for more information on which dates may have scale soaring activity. In any case, this international event is worth a visit. Bring your camera!

Please post your promotional fliers to this thread.
