Zak;
I was kinda debating whether or not to enter. I have'nt competed in this type of event before, a little nervous.
They really don't have a class for my SUPERIOR flying. hehe
So i'll probably have to go UP a class and enter basic lol
I just pre-registered, so we'll see what happens. I'll have a 35% carden EXTRA 330s, its the one with all the wrinkles in it : )
Have you competed before?? how's the first time??
c-ya

I competed last year for the first time. What you have to do, is dont let the people watching get to you, and just focus on the plane. If you want I can call for you while you are flying. It is a bit nerve racking the first time, but really isnt too tough once you get used to it. Dont expect to walk out there the first time and win, but definetly give 200% or your effort into every flight.
I would definetly enter the contest, and fly it, and have fun. You have to start somewhere!

My buddy is going to call for me, i don't know if he can handle the pressure. If he falls apart, you can step in, thanks.
The biggest prize i hope to walk away with is an intact airplane.
Do many people crash during this event??
I'm kinda getting excited about competing.
hope to see you there. It seems not too many people from this forum are going to attend.

I don't think I want to be there if you are getting " excited". As for me being able to handle it ... lets see. In all of the events I have called for someone ... oh geee.. they got first place! Keep it up and I will have to fly! LOL

George,
There are usually at the most 2 planes in the air at one time. Crashes are rare, and if there are any its in the free (not a mandatory class).
See your guys there, im leaving tomorrow.
