Chris' pictures of Red Rock came out pretty good. If you look at the back
side pic you can see Stead field in the background, the site of the Reno Air
Races. Just a note to those who havent flown there- As one can see there
are a lot of rocks, it looks a little intimidating, especially when one
first flies there. My first time I was alone there, kind of blown away by
all the rocks(and the 35mph wind!) and just stood around trying to decide if
I should risk landing my molded F3B plane there. No need for worry- if you
look at backside pic and scroll to right you see a dirt road going up a
hill, just fly back behind the road a little(not way far back though-rotor)
in that area, turn back into the wind and land on the road or just behind it
in the brush-very few rocks and brush makes for a nice cushion. You will
find the air in this saddle area very laminar, super smooth-some of the
easiest landings I have experienced on the slope- Walter
