Battle space structures and components were brought in and set up by the Estacada and Keizer complements, whose tables were set up in front of the replica "Spirit of St. Louis" aircraft close to and within line of sight of the battlefield. It was an excellent siting giving NORDPAC a lot of exposure to the public and we have been invited back next year.

We are the only RC tank club in the country, that I'm aware of, that offers the public an opportunity to experience RC tank battling. I am again indebted to PatB, and new memeber MsRommel for their excellent effort in managing public battles.
