    Hey guys, what the general consensus on Thursday arrivals? I will only be towing so don't want to get there and have no one to tow! I plan on arriving around noon on Thursday. I'll be camping at the field.

      You should have plenty of customers by noon Thursday. It sounds like we'll have plenty of tugs this year which is a good thing!

    My only trip to Mac Hodges field was a couple of years ago when we flew a glider cross-country from our home field near Griffin down to Americus. Straight line distance was about 75 miles and the odometer on the truck showed 95 miles.
    Maybe we'll try it again if Tom is game...

      I'll be there all day Thursday, my plan is either leave Wed after work or silly early on Thursday.

      Marc, you camper camping or tent camping?

      Those that haven't been there, I can't think of a nicer facility down here to have this event.

          Is there any need for me to bring my 25% Super Cub to tow smaller sailplanes? My feelings are for the most part there will be large scale participating.

            Marc,
            If you have room to bring the Cub I think it might be a good idea. I suspect there may be some smaller sailplanes just suited for a 1/4 scale tug. If it's too tight a squeeze don't worry about it.

              Copy that..........Lets see how space is after I load all the support and camping gear. It's best for the small foamies >5 lbs.

                Robin,
                Most stayed at the Hampton Inn in Americus, GA, last year. There is also a Day's Inn there and a Best Western that is a refurbished, historical B&B type. FYI, the field is about 10 miles from any of these motels.

              Anything in Americus is within sight of each other and about 15 minutes from the field.

              If you want on the cheap, Knights Inn is 47 a night

                I'm afraid I've caught the disease, the FunCub just wasn't big enough so I got a Carbon Z cub. How much longer before I need a trailer to haul everything to the field

                  Took me 1 aero tow to realize that there was no resistance that could withstand the draw... I only have a baby trailer, but it is a great size for us young'ns. There was an identical sized trailer for sale in the "For Sale" section here, don't know if it is still available, but I think it is. Len could tie it on top of his rig and haul it down....

                  The bad news, there is no known cure for the disease, but it is treatable!!

                  Hey guys,
                  Just a thought, we are only 3 miles from the Americus airport. Does Mac have an agreement with them or contacted them? Just wondering.

                    I am planning on attending SERA, but I will most likely not have anything to fly. I would like to tent camp, so should I register for the event?

                      Hi Slappy.

                      Yes,
                      By registering, you are put on a list of pilots which receive special updates on events and other pertinent information. Be sure to say hi when you arrive, I always have something around you can get some stick time on.
