Come fly with us in SC where we have the weather to fly 12 months a year. The first 12 fliers that are new to our field and notify me ahead of time get a free gift.

Are you able to fly in February?
We can fly in February if the temps are not too low - and we need to help university teams get some test flights in.

It's a great opportunity to see if students know how to properly dress for the weather in a wide-open cornfield.

But usually we stop just after Thanksgiving, and then start up again in March.

If you're meaning the paper mill in Catawba - nope.

Sawmill in Greenwood area.

If you haven't flown at the Dalzell field, it is a nice place to fly for sure. Good field, good people, good time. Hope you get to make it. I won't get to meet you, as I'll be in S. Florida at the time, but definitely worth checking out!

This is why you always do a "systems check" before you go to a launch.

The T3 tracker did not turn on. Had to perform a little brain surgery. Broken wire on the battery.

New battery in place. Now for a little scalpel work and soldering on the old battery . . .

It is a good idea. The trees are unforgiving, especially if you do not know which tree.
