I don't know how many of you know Mac Hodges, but he is a former Pattern
pilot from near Americus, GA. Several years ago Mac quit Pattern and, later,
started competing in fun fly events. He became the national fun fly champion
for six or seven years running. He is also a full scale light plane pilot.
His full scale/model flying field is on his family's farm outside Americus,
GA. <br>
<br>
Emory Schroeter and Ken Blackwell co-hosted the Peach Classic pattern contest
at Mac's field last weekend. You may have seen the results posted by Emory
on Monday. We had an enjoyable contest there and I look forward to next
year's contest. <br>
<br>
This weekend there will be an IMAC contest at the same field. <br>
<br>
Mac has a hobby shop adjacent to the runway. It is the best R/C hobby shop
I have <u>ever</u> visited. You must see it to believe all the R/C items
Mac has in a hobby shop way out in the Georgia 'boonies'. Look at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.hodgeshobbies.com">www.hodgeshobbies.com</a><br>

The reason I'm writing this e-mail is that there will another event at Mac's
field in June. The Southeast Electric Flight Festival will be held June
20th to the 22nd. If you have never seen the complete spectrum of electric-powered
R/C models, this is the place to be. I attended the first event at another
field last June and it was a 'kick'. Check it out at: www.fayetteflyers.com<br>
