Directions:
http://www.doukeniewinery.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=19&CFID=228905&CFTOKEN=19901398Doukenie Winery asked that we
guarantee a large number of flyers from noon until 16:00, as that is when they expect most of their clients.
The winery is having a pig roast that day. NVRC will provide drinks (non-alchoholic only
), but at this time food purchase will be up to you. If that changes, it will be posted here.
I have one large cooler I can put drinks in, but need one or two folks to volunteer to each bring one so we will have plentiful supply of cold drinks.
I will also need one or two folks to help with set-up around 08:00 (caution tape barriers, etc.) Please let me know if you can bring a cooler or help set up.
Based on last year this is a great family event.
The field is a bit rough, so I recommend larger aircraft or hand-launched. I have talked to the manager about trying to get the field cut lower than last year, and will be meeting with her the week of the event to get a basic field laid out. (as a note, my 25 size cub was able to take off last year, but took some effort).
Here are some basic event rules:
- Have Fun!
- NO NOISY PLANES. We are guests of the winery and are trying to make this an annual event, your cooperation is appreciated.
- ABSOLUTELY NO CONSUMPTION OF ALCHOLIC BEVERAGES PRIOR TO OR DURING FLYING. Should you decide to sample the local wine (it is good by the way) then; 1. Pack up your R/C gear 2. Notify the CD (me) your gear is packed and that you are done flying 3. Sample the wine...heckling of those still flying will be strongly encouraged
.
Please post here if you are planning to attend, I look forward to seeing you there!
Doug
