Fall 2015 CAFFA Meet Get ready for the Fall Hurricane Meet (the name is intended only to ward off evil spirits). It will include both FAC and AMA events. The new E-20 event will be flown for the first time, per Bob Stalick rules. The event is quickly gaining popularity because of simple builds and much lower costs than the other free flight electric events. It is a great entry point for those new to electric flight and still provides lots of challenges to those with exprience flying the larger electric events. The field is the sod farm in Raeford, NC.

The 2015 Cloud Tramp Mass Launch had 15 people today at the Carrollton Nike Park. We arrived at the Carrollton Nike Park today and started trimming out our Cloud Tramps for the mass launch at 12 noon. Kendal Bowen had the longest flight on one of her trim flights this morning. We had 15 participates today. Here are the group of flyers lined up ready to fly. From left to right: Bobby Mathison, Jimmy Welch, Judy Welch, Marjorie Mathison, Kendall Bowen, John Tate, Fran Hurd, Steve Kolet, Mike Ose, Dianne Tate, Dean Giaceopassi, Garrett Sisk, Janelle Sisk, Peyton Sisk, & Travis Sisk. All Cloud Tramps flew very nice. All we had to do is go down field and find our own Cloud Tramps. After the launch all we had to do is vote on where to go for lunch. Soon after that the field was empty. Carrollton Nike Park is located in Isle of Wight County, VA. USA. The site used to house the Nike Ajax Missile magazines. Thankfully the missiles are long gone now and the site is a large park for us to fly on.
