Hey All

TC3D is really starting to shape up, Jeff and myself with the help of flying buds, are getting this event off the ground. Sponsors are coming on board and more are on the way. Triple Creek RC has their TC3D website up and it also has pre-registration! John W. put together a nice site! Here is the link: http://www.triplecreekrc.com/TC3D.htm

Chris Hinson of Extreme Flight RC is coming down with a trailer full of his world famous remote control airplanes. So, if you always wanted an Extreme Flight ARF, and save lots of moola, here is you chance. Contact Chris @ www.extremeflightrc.com . As most of you all know, Chris is also very well versed in "down in the dirt extreme 3D HUCKIN!!" It is truly a site to watch him on the sticks!

Here is the skinny on TC3D so far!!!

TC3D will be supporting the Boy Scouts of America!

Florida Freestyle Aerobatics Association FFAA & Team Extreme are real advocates these Fly-Ins and organizes these events so that everybody can have loads of fun, and at the same time everybody benefits!

1) Events Promotes the host club, Triple Creek RC and its county supported facility
2) Help expose our hobby to the general public with two days of Extreme Aerobatic RC Air Shows! And the spectators walks away saying WOW! almost every time.
3) Help raise money and awareness for charities- "the Boy Scouts of America".
4) Promote Sponsors' products to fellow modelers and the general public.
5) Local Club will be able to draw in more members with exposure from the event.
6) And most of all, everybody will have Fun, Fun, Fun!

Duh,,, with the WarBirds! Sorry, could't resist that. BT-14 is going up Tuesday, Bulldog will commute everyday. Should be a couple other Bulldogs there, usually on the east side of WarBird parking.

Hey All!

Just wanted to pass along an update regarding the Main Raffle Grand Prize! So far it looks like we are going to raffle off a great Prize package! It will be a 50cc Giant Scale aircraft. I am trying to hammer down some other details but Desert Aircraft is all in! I spoke to Tony Russo and he says that Desert Aircraft will be sending us a 50cc DA50R gas engine!! So we will be firming up other details on the aircraft and servos. A Complete RC airplane package w/ plane, engine, prop, and servos, just add batteries and your receiver, some misc. parts (and some assembly) and somebody will walk away with a top of the line 50cc RC aircraft, just by showing up at the event and buying a raffle ticket!!!!

Pilot prizes are off the hook as well!

So far the Sponsors on Board are:

Extreme Flight RC
Desert Aircraft
F l y i n g G i a n t s
Red Aero RC
Duralite Batteries
B & E Graphix
Plane Wrappers
Archie''s Discount Hobbies
Tampa Bay Lightning
Vess Props

Big thanks to our sponsors so far!

Please see attached Flyer for more event details! (I apologize that the flyer has not been updated with new sponsors)

If you folks are planning to attend, please visit www.triplecreekrc.com and pre-register!

Here is a vid of me flying the Extreme Flight RC 110" Yak 54, from last weekend. This plane is absolutely a blast to fly. Look for TC3D plug at the end of the Vid!

Enjoy!

Hey all!

her is another vid that my wife and I Made of the Extreme Flight RC 50cc Extra 300. This plane totally rocks. IMHO it is the best 50cc ARF out there today, and even edges out its sibling, the 88" EF Yak 54. Again, look for TC3D plug at the end of the video!

Hey Guys!

TC3D Report.

I think the spectators are gonna get their socks knocked off! Lots of great pilots are coming! Pre-registration is getting better, so everybody, please pre-register if you haven't already. In case you don't know, you get $5 off and you do not have to pay until you get there. I CAN'T WAIT for TC3D!


Extreme Flight RC Inside Info!............
Chris Hinson is going to be distributing a new Engine from "Area 51". It will be 51cc
Check out this Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQtp-XURsOE

Chris said that there is about 40 of these engines currently in the US and the response is good. Yes it looks like a DA especially with all the CNC work. Chris says that these engines are showing to be reliable and stronger than the DA 50. Comes with stand-offs, muffler, & ignition module. Price? $400. Oh Yeah!
This Engine will be included with the Grand Prize drawing. Also to be raffled off in the Main Raffle is a Desert Aircraft DA50R Gasoline Engine! Oh Yeah!

Also, Chris Hinson & Mrs. Melissa Hinson aka Mrs. Extreme Flight!!! will be bringing "The Stuff" to TC3D! Can you believe it. Chris and Melissa is coming to TC3D after their Honeymood! Please give them a great big FFAA Welcome when you se them! Anyway, This is your chance to save some big $ on shipping and get an authentic Extreme Flight RC ARF! Call Extreme Flight RC at 770-887-1794 or e-mail them at www.extremeflightrc.com.

I went down to do coverage for RCU

Look for a full article in the magazine section as soon as I get get the photos and video sorted and the article written.

It was a awesome time though. Rennie, Chris, and the boys really put on some awesome flying. Triple Creek RC did an awesome job hosting and feeding the pilots and spectators. The only bummer was the showers that came and went but it made for some cool rainbows Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Thanks guys!
