Southeast Regional Aerotow 2016

[Slappy]

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?

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.

Suffering from the malaise for 25 years.......

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

[kd4jaz]

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.

Hey Andy,
I'll be tent camping..........looking forward to a good time! I'm going to pushback at 5am on Thursday morning. Call my cell when you are on the road...(after 5am)

Marc

[AGriffith]

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.

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...
