RCT&C Midwest Spring Meet
Got everything lined up to make this happen! Gonna be a blast. Here's more info: -Please bring folding tables, chairs, and extension cords for setting up charging stations and the like. I'll bring all I have but it may not be quite enough. -I intend to start on Saturday around 9am and go till we can't stay awake anymore. I will have worklights setup for night playtime. -There is a portajohn at the field and the Mobil Gas Station is a couple minutes away if that's preferred. -Again if there is enough interest I'll make sure a Radio Programming Seminar and Battery Charging/Storage Seminar happen. -I'm hoping to have a model turbine jet fly so you guys can see that. Pretty awesome if you've never seen it. -At this point I'm only know that a few people are coming to this. If you could please post up and let me know if you're coming that would be great. Entry fee will be based on number of participants but I'd like to keep it $20 maximum. (All money goes to our club for use of this facility. I would like to keep this an annual event.) {I'll save this section for more info on the Hotel (ie if we can get a block with any discounts)} Hotel options: Best Western Monticello Gateway Inn 805 Iron Horse Pl. Monticello IL 61856 217-762-9436 (Nice new modern/clean hotel w/pool) Foster Inn 1414 N. Market St. Monticello IL 61856 217-762-9835 (Cheaper option, I haven't looked at any reviews but have heard they recently remodeled all rooms. It's an old place but probably quite a bit cheaper. I'd be happy to look into this option for anyone if they want) Camping: You can camp at the field for no charge. Please see me before deciding where to park an RV or where to setup tents. Again there are no hookups for septic/water. Clinton Lake State Rec Area 1751 Ranger Rd. Dewitt IL 61735 217-935-8722 (About 30 minutes from the event location.) Recommended Nearby Restaurants: Filippo's Pizza (my personal favorite pizza) Brown Bag Deli Main Street Pub 3 Ravens Dairy Queen McDonalds Hardees Subway El Toro Monical's Pizza (Red Wheel closest to field is not very good....neither is our Chinese place, you've been warned) County Market is our grocery store in town. Activities for kids: Nick's Park (large wooden playground) Railway Museum (right by the field) Please try to get the word out about this event. I know we have a good number of guys on here that don't visit the board regularly. |

You also have the option of shipping whatever you need to me and I'll bring it to the show for you. I suppose it's all a matter of if you trust the postal system or Airport baggage-handlers more. |

Re: RCT&C Midwest Spring Meet
I thought the big issue with lipo is the temp drop in the cargo hold.

Who else can come out? Should I send out invites via PM to people or are they seeing this thread? Concerned by lack of response/interest so far. |
