Status: offline 		Not allowed to criss cross the entire skyline? my guess, Jeff Meyers was tough on anyone flying outside of boundary specific areas. He even gets on the microphone calling you out inflight and has no regard to who it is.

Seff is not really laid out well for e-jets, if you keep to the boudaries at 200MPH your pretty much the only one going to be seeing it. Sort of being at the INDY 500 on the straight away and your 2 second looksie..............

Thats my .0 having been their for 5 days straight.... will be interesting none the less.......

Status: offline 		well that seems reasonable that you have to fly in the promoters specified boundries.

c/f , you must have enjoyed if you stayed 5 days

on the bv web site he aludes to the death of seff now that he is pissed .
supposedly like the death of jets over deland .
i always had a great time at deland and as i understood deland died a death due to the altitude ceiling and the growth of turbine models it was not a good site anymore in the corner where they had us flying .
all you other event promoters better watch out , because if you p off the man , your event will die according to the bv website

Status: offline 		SEFF continues to grow leaps and bounds, last year 380 pilots, this year, 450 pilots. It will only grow given it's targeted group of which Jeff Meyers is keen on protecting their interests. Not to mention its held at MAC HODGES feild of dreams. Robert Belliumo?? was there the whole time I believe as well flying his JEPE models.

SEFF will hit the 500+ pilots next year without uncle bob I'm quite certain................It is now being described as a pilgrimage versus an event........I concurr, a week for me next year.

As a side note, IMHO, UB's other credible industry resource is CASTLE CREATIONS as they too were a no show to the largest electric gathering in the world given how many of their products where in use this explains it for me.

Status: offline 		WOW!
18 pages of post's at rc groups of guys telling what a great time they had and the discussion was started by the event person - jeff- who was in charge,
he was asking for comments about the event. and 99 % positive
maybe the bvm jets were not the show stoppers they are at some other events .
the event sure seems strong to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Status: online 		I don't think I'd want to fly my jet at this event either. Doesn't look as though it's geared towards jets with the way the pattern for landing is setup. I wonder what went down between the event coordinator and Bob.

Status: offline 		if you read all the diff post's and threads on rc groups , it seems as though bv made a bad impressoin of jet pilots at the event and was not following the rules for the flightline.
hopefully that was not the case.
jets don't need any neg press ,- even the dust busters.
as they say in the sports ad's about being a role model when you are high profile

Status: offline 		seems to me the electro guys think seff is a great event and so did bv - that is why he traveled there to show his wares.he got digruntled during his flying .
if he thought it was unsafe or -a bad enviorment he would not have unloaded or flew.

yeah, i get tired of the bv stuff taking up time ,at most all events - for example at topgun we sat thru 3 or more diff bv jets being demoed daily and 2 or more of them were not even scale products.
maybe the seff guys were not impressed and maybe he did not follow the rules - but i doubt his not going back is going to hurt seff as his website indicates-

facts are facts joe

Status: offline 		I went last year for the first time. It is a great event for most flyers but it is totally unsuitable for larger jets, even some of the smaller HET type faster jets. The runway at that end is really not that smooth and the flying area is way too small. There is also way too much traffic in the air. I'm saving my gas money for the electric jet event at HOH this year.
