Accommodations
On-site RV (no hookups) and tent camping are welcomed. We have extended our gravel areas to the east fence, so there is more room now for canopies and tent camping. Visit our club's Location page for Silent Wings Ranch details and nearby accommodations.
Meals / Drinks
For your convenience, lunch will be provided Saturday and Sunday and fresh donuts will be provided each morning. Freshly brewed coffee (Kuerig) and water will be available throughout the event.
Field Access for Practice
Silent Wings Ranch will be accessible to all contest pilots starting the Thursday leading up to the contest. Please contact the CD and/or Contest Coordinator by email if you would like access the field earlier.
Parking / Canopies
Canopies may be placed in alignment to the front of the shade structure with parking behind. Our gravel area is now extended to the east fence, so more room is now available. Cones will be placed for areas that need to stay clear.
Site Weather
We have a weather station on site and are tied into other weather services. See extensive weather resources on our Weather page.
