F5J Foamy Fun Fly @ Poway
TPG will continue our F5J style foamy fun fly contests (and clinic) at our Poway field. This is truly a fun-fly and a great way to get into F5J style flying. Any foamy or stick-built plane up to 2m (or so) is welcome. Night Radians are very popular but we also see Yellow Jackets (stick-built)[...]
