Informations
The Memphis Prop Busters also has a float-fly location in Shelby Farms. We fly off of Trap Lake on the south side of the intersection of Walnut Grove Rd and Farm Rd. Float fly dates are published on the website and occur monthly during the flying season. You do not need to be a member of the Prop Busters to join us, however you do need a $25 park permit that you can obtain directly through Shelby Farms. Just tell them you want to join us and fly off of the lake and they will handle it from there! The float flys are always free and are usually from 8am to noon.
When you arrive you can pull through the gate and park in the parking lot next to the service building. We usually set up under the large shade tree next to the water. You'll need to bring your own chairs as there are no facilities, but the club does provide a retrieval boat. The shore of the lake is smooth and gentle so launching and recovering your airplane is easy.
