I've also been hearing from some pretty fast guys who lurk here, they plan to come out on the 30th.
250 stickers are on hand as well as some new event stickers that I think will be a hit.

June 30 is coming quick!

Status: offline 		Vic, You remember what happened on the first flight of the Magnum in 2010. My new MagnumR is ready to maiden which i hope to accomplish on Sunday. I still haven't figured out why the Magnum went stupid after launch so i am starting a thread to get a little help and make sure the same doesn't happen this year. I'll come back and post the link to the new thread. Appreciate any help from the experts.

Here is the link to the new thread. Didn't want to hijack this one for technical info. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11119653/anchors_11119653/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#11119653

Status: offline 		I hope you get the bugs worked out. We don't want any problems when you get up here. If you get out a little early we can do plenty of practice runs.

I got a great big ol box from Great Planes and Hobbico this weekend. They really did a nice job in sending some goodies. The have provided a Rifle and motor combo for raffle. I'll post what the tickets will be after our meeting tomorrow night.

Thanks again!!!

Maybe I have a plane that actually would qualify as a speed plane by then...

Don't worry about qualifying for anything. We had one guy fly a park flyer at 37mph. It's all about having a good time and seeing what other people do to go fast.

I'm getting really close on my Q40.

Miss Ashley Q40, Nelson long stroke.

It looks like Saturday will be a total scorcher with the temp possibly hitting 100+. Please drink plenty of water and bring a tent if you have one. We will have a cooler with ice water available too.

Status: offline 		Even by North Carolina standards it will be very hot Saturday. We are in an area known as the Piedmont which is basically the edge of the mountains and usually a pleasant climate when you are around trees. I think you will find it beutiful here after you see thru the heat, coming from Michigan I know I don't think I could live without mountains as a backdrop again.

AF, you have a PM with my cell# give me a call when you hit town, we can try to meet up. I plan to be at the field for a bit Friday evening to make sure it is all set and possibly to get a flight or two in. Maybe we can share a frosty.

Anyone else coming in from out of town, PM me and I will give you further contact info in case you want to get some practice in or do some drinking...

It's much worse than the Sahara, the Sahara is dry, the humidity is really an interesting little plus in the southeast (as well as here at times).

Besides you always can use a bit of the Jar Juice to help overcome some of the symptoms , speaking from experience there on a trip to the Piedmont many, many years ago. There is usually a nice breeze near the mountains.
