Flying Field:
Directions to the flying field can be found on our website. The flying field is a working sod farm that is located approximately 5.2 miles west of Edgerton, KS at the intersection of Road 2100 and Highway 56. For those of you with GPS: N38 46.067 W95 06.732.
Accomodations:
Within a 15 mile radius the closest accommodations are local motels in Baldwin City, which is approximately 3 miles west on Highway 56. There is a Super 8 located in Gardner, 12.5 miles east of the flying field on Highway 56. There are a number of popular Motels in Lawrence, KS (Home to Kansas University), which is 13 miles west of the flying field on Highway 56. See listing at the bottom.
What to Expect:
We will have five rounds of competition for each of the three classes on Saturday. Launches will be by flight group and will be simultaneous at the end of a short count down (maximum of 10 contestants per flight group). Motor runs are unlimited but are subtracted from the total round time. There will be 10 minutes between flight groups, if you are flying in more than 0ne class you will be quite busy, placing batteries on charge while you fly in the next flight group. After two rounds we will break for lunch (one hour if we can stay on schedule), with three rounds in the afternoon. Fun flying in the evening if you haven’t had your fill by days end.
Sunday will be a Flyoff for the top 5 finishers in each class. Round times will be increased to 15 minutes (weather and scheduling permitting). We should complete flying around noon with a short awards ceremony, so you will have adequate travel time home.
