Ed,
What about the EF-1 you told me about ?? I haven't seen anything else about it except what you said about having 10 or 12 people coming to fly them !!! What plane and motor set up do you use ?? I'm sure there would be more people come if something was published about it..

The only thing about the EF-1 guys was from Rick. All I know is that he asked if they could also race during the event since we were doing a 2 day event. I assumed he knew those who would want to race. Other than that I know very little except talking with RIck about the grass and that if they came we would cut it lower to allow them to take off or get some matting. I haven't talked to him except just before he left for the NATS. I have 4 plaques ordered if they do come and race. Other than that I don't know anything more.

I''ve been working on my countdown clock and its ready for the race. I got the remote working with the pushbuttons on top that way if one or the other fails there will still be a backup. I don't anticipate that but it's good to have. Here are some YouTube links to view my clock. The horn is muted so it wouldnt make me deaf .

Thanks for posting the pictures. I had a great time, next year the Hoosier Hot Shots might make it down.
Beautiful facility. It's a shame it sounds like you might loose it to encroachment.
only 545 miles from my house.

Rick is our District AMA rep and we are proud to have him come to our events, and not only that, he's a good pilot and competitor too!!
