I just got off the phone with Eddie & the gang at Deland. He said they flew the Rig (VertiMOE) some mo. Phil took it up to 40 feet or so on multiple occasions and flew it around, gentle turns, at up to about ten mph. They have achieved endurances of 2 minutes or so in one shot. Yesterday, however, as he was touching down, the Olympus started ingesting some gravel and sand. Two starts later, the bearings started squealing. The AMT guys took a look at it and said "let us have it". So Eddie took the Olympus out of his Isobar and flew some more with it. He said that it has been foggy and VERY low clouds several days and people have had to keep it low to avoid the clouds. He said that attendance appeared to be the same as in previous years. He did not know about Todd getting asked to leave by the CD and the police for, supposedly, starting a disturbance until I mentioned it. Sounds like those Deland guys are WAY out of control and losing their minds.
