We want to welcome you to our event October 16-18. Your largest tugs and gliders are no problem for our field as the full scale gliders from Harris Hill land here on occasion when they run out of lift and can't make it back to the hill.






We have enough room/runways to setup multiple flight lines if you need it w/ a 3,000' E-W runway (Main) and an 1,100' N-S runway (Club Location)
No worries about bungie/winch interference w/ aerotow operations. Let us know if you would like more than one flight line.




We have a solar charging station for electrics w/ a 3,000 watt inverter for AC power as well as gensets if needed.

Our Location:

Intersection of Alderman and Ridge Roads in Hammondsport, NY, Map and more pictures here: www.rcflightdeck.com/club.cfm?id=1283

Where to Stay:

At the field: We have acres of room for camping, easy access and level. No hookups, port-o-let provided.

Hammondsport: Home of the Glenn Curtis Museum about five miles away, Bath is another eight miles, see the flyer for accommodations.

Where to Eat:

The club will provide a breakfast and lunch concession at the field for your convenience. For those of you that want to keep flying we'll also have an evening family style meal at the field.

There are several good restaurants in Hammondsport to choose from with a wider selection in Bath.

Best of luck guys, I cannot make it (committed to a "Bike Virginia" Bicycle ride with Wife and friends) BUT, if it falls through, i might make the trip

[stevekremer]

Thanks Dave. Enjoy the bike ride, but, if something changes, it would be great to see you.

Hey guys, we had a great time aero towing at Windy Ridge yesterday, spent the whole afternoon there. Weather was spectacular and all of the club members were very excited to see the big gliders and tow plane we had. They're all really looking forward to seeing everyone next month! This is a great field, you're going to love flying here.

This was also the first time with cameras on the gliders, enjoy the videos!

Hi Steve,

Looking forward to the event, after spending a beautiful 3 1/2 days in Northern Vermont, the scenery in NY a few weeks later should be spectacular.

The venue looks nice, should be a lot of fun!!!!

[Xroadie]

It is beautiful there...I visited the Glenn Curtis Museum there once on the way to one of the Elmira Aerotows.

[stevekremer]

My other plans just got cancelled that weekend, so now I think I can make it!!! ...whoo hoo...probably do the camping again...and combine 2 favorite things. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and learning the ropes...I left Vermont with the worst landing ever on last flight...it can only get better! lol

The Windy Ridge club is making final preperations. Let us know if you are planning to attend. We are ready to fix Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Just need to know how many are planning to attend. Also need to know if you are planning to camp. Looking forward to a great event. Thanks

I'm not going to be able to make the event. Wife and I are on a road trip to Chicago to visit my daughter. However I'm am trying to time the return drive to swing through the area so maybe (crossed fingers) I can pop in for a bit at least with camera in tow and snag a few shots for you guys. Have to wait and see how things time out.

Otherwise have a great event Steve. I'll be watching posts.
