I'll be brief. Red Flag was / is intended to be an Aerobatic Competition for Jets. One with a small purse as well as prestigious trophies. It was scheduled for late October, would be an "Invitational", and be for Scale Jets only, with an
Aerobatic schedule of maneuvers to be performed. Some mandatory, some optional. There would be a "Masters" and an "Expert" class. We do not have an aerobatic competition for JETS only in the USA and I thought this might be interesting for the jet pilot community as well as to spectators. However, if Pilot and Spectator interest is at a level of 9, (out of 10), sponsorship level is at a 1. To do the event, we need financial assistance for site rental, toilets, storage tent, golf carts, dumpster, announcer, judges travel, parking attendants and a lot more. The companies, all except Horizon Hobby, that make their living from the hobby or the jet market place, do not see a value supporting such an event. So with that being said, I'm giving it one more week to try and get some sponsors. If we are not successful we will let you all know, right here and on Face Book.
Thanks for reading this.
