Given the fact that there are only a couple of cat 3 sites available in the US it would be really great to have that one available again. It's interesting that you didn't see much drift. The last time I was there the drift was really bad. After launching in the middle of the space models would go in one direction or the other and would seem to accelerate as they got farther from the center.

But after getting down there yesterday, I'm more interested than ever. Given the heat and humidity, no one wants to run in the space, so it sits for hours completely empty. Seems ideal as long as you play within the rules. I wouldn't want to show up with 30 guys, but one or two to test the waters first - I think it could work. Are you around the area still, Geoff?

I used to fly at the armory on Saturday mornings back when I was a student at UIUC (hard to believe that was 10 years ago now!). It's a great site. There used to be a contest hosted there in the spring each year (Maybe 2002-2006). I believe Bob Warmann from the Chicago Aeronuts was the organizer.
