Robert, you'll be walking distance from the home of JetCat USA and minutes from Sepulveda Basin... home field of Mr. Matt and quite a few jet flyers. Directions here: [link=http://www.valleyflyers.com/FieldInformation.htm]Sepulveda Basin[/link]

Lots of good hobby shops, I posted directions earlier this year, I'll repost if I can find the thread.

Hey thanks! Do you think they'll be flying during the week or just weekends? I'll try to find the location of JetCat.....I'd love to go there and see those guys.....thanks again!

I'd say most of the action is on the weekend but there are a couple LA jet guys that usually fly during the week only. I live in San Dog now (2 hours south) so I am not in tune with who flys when/what at the Basin anymore. Check in with John or Bob at JetCat, they'll give you the scoop.

Jet Cat is on the perimeter of the Van Nuys A/P, near Havenhurst (major street) and Arminta. Here's a map...

Hello Mr Matt......I don't think I'll be here till the weekend unfortunately........prob. for the next couple days. I'm hoping maybe there will be someone since the wx. is nice (fingers crossed!).
