Up coming R/C Soaring events at Perris

Hi Roger,

Just wanted to let everyone know that there’s two RC glider meets scheduled at the Perris Calif. Flying site. F3B team finals will be held October 24-26. There’s a F3J contest November 8-9. Both meets will use a large chunk of space so flying free flight might be a little tough.

Up Coming Elsewhere

Note that at Oct 24-26 hard core FAI guys will be at Elorado Dry Lake, Boulder City, NV for the USA 2015 Team Selection Finals. The Patterson FAI event will be at Lost Hills 15-16 November. the date having been moved to be a little further from the Finals. The Patterson Flyer will be out soon.
