Dave, if I am off I will definitely be there. I looked on the map and saw that it is not that far from where I live, maybe 2.5 hour drive. Hope I can get the day off from work will know next Wednesday. Right now I am flying my own designs. I have an edge and extra that are done and working on many others. I will bring them to the meet, they are just for 3D and do fly indoors fine. Here is a picture of my edge.Jeff W.

akahoverit, You have plenty of time to get one going. Heres a link to an arf that is ready to fly in a couple of hours, and there is a list of all gear needed. I have as much fun with mine as I do with my Glow stuff[link=http://hometown.aol.com/leadingedgerc/t.html]http://hometown.aol.com/leadingedgerc/t.html[/link]
Get one Going and fly with us!!

Sloan, it heightens the wow factor for sure. Luckily, I have not needed the boat yet. How big is the facility where this will be held? Jeff W.

Jeff, The site is the 2nd largest high school gym in the US.I believe it seats about 4000 with the bleachers pulled out and we will have them all pushed back.There is an upper level around 3 sides.
It is located right downtown Anderson. 14th and fairview.

3dreaming, Glad your coming. I would take an uneducated guess at about 40 or 50 flyers

Jeff, find someone else to drive and study in the car. You could even study between flights. Tom

Hey dave,
Do we need to bring car batteries for charging or is there plenty of electrical outlets?

I wish I could, you guys know I would be there if it were not for this very good reason. I have been told that next week will be my craziest week and this one right now is information overload. I have to bypass, I hate it, please do some #9 for me, and a moment of silence. Thanks, Jeff W.

Matt, I think we are hit on the outlets, there are a couple but they are not in very good locations. If you have a battery I would bring it

Had a good time at the Indoor meet. Got to meet some new people, put some faces to online names and catch up with some old acquaintances.
Lots of flying (and crashing) going on. An interesting variety of airplanes from rubber-powered free flyers to foamies to built-up 3Ders.

Looking forward to next year's event. (I'll know better what to bring next time) Thanks to David and the gang for hosting a fun event.

I took a few digital stills, but mostly video. Hope to get some of that posted somewhere in the near future.

My poor Airwave Sukhoi didn't make it through the entire event.

Bummer about your Sukhoi Karl. Send her down to Swaney and he'll have it better than ever in 5 minutes. Are you going to make it to STL?
