Due to so many regular attendee’s, we have had to do a pre-preregistration for those folks to keep their regular spots. We know many of you have been coming the last several years, and yes you are counted as family, but we honor the campers that have been coming in seniority. We have very limited 50/30 amp hook ups. We have plenty of 20 amp hook ups. Below are the camping hook ups. When we are sold out of a hookup, it will be closed to anymore registrations. You can opt for the next hookup or may bring a generator. The generator MAY NOT exceed 65 dB’s at full capacity. Mel has kept the records for years and we have a layout of where most folks stay and will try to honor those locations.

Come enjoy great BBQ and fellowship as well as our grand prize drawings. The cost is $15 per person, and tickets can be purchased on the pre-registration form.

We will be holding Ultimate Destruction Combat on Friday after the Noon Demo. Any air worthy plane can fly in this event. Battery size limit is 1320mAh 2 or 3 cell.
Once the horn blows, is full contact with the other planes.. As you are out, step away from the flight line. Any model involved in an impact hitter/hittee scores a point via judges official tally (not pilots). Both, or multiple plane score per impact. The winner will be declared by most impacts and is still air worthy. In the case of a tie, pilots will draw straws from a clenched fist for shortest.

Please register online to reserve your camping spot. You may show up at the field to camp, but there are no guarantees for a hook up.
You will check in at the Registration desk and the RV/Parking Host will guide you to your camp site.
We will be providing pump services on Monday and Thursday. Please see Bob Barnard or the Registration Desk for a pass to be displayed for this service.
We ask that you shut down your generator from 10pm until 7am. This is not a rule, just a request for those who can do so. However for the benefit of your neighbors, if the noise is at an unacceptable level you will be required to turn off your generator or move to another RV Parking Site as directed by our Staff.
We are not a dedicated campground, so to operate this excellent RC event, some consolidations/considerations need to be made in order to accommodate everyone.
RVs and campers will be pitched reasonably close together in order to make space for everyone.
No RV will be parked on the first row of the pit area.
Pop-up campers are classified as an RV, not a tent, basically, if it has wheels it is an RV.
Generators are allowed anywhere on the property. Please mention if you would like to secure an RV/camping spot in that area when you check in or to Mel Scoggins prior to arrival (see below). All generators should maintain a maximum sound level of less than 65dB at 10 feet under full load.
No open ground fires are allowed at SEFF, Fire pits however are allowed, please do not leave fires unattended. Please remember that Mac graciously allows the Fayette Flyers to Host SEFF at His field. Please make sure that if you have a raised fire pit that you take the necessary precautions to ensure the least amount of damage to the sod below.
There are four full bathrooms attached to Macs Shop, Hot showers are provided for use 24/7 at no extra cost. There are portapotties around the field.
