Whats up guy's?
Well I went to to my LHS today and found a flyer for a helicopter fun fly that's only like 30 min away from me. Not just a fun fly but a HELI fun fly. Supposed to be a big, three day event, JR sponsored pilots I can't wait. I can't believe that there is something like that so close to me and so big. I figured there would be some heli flyers around and perhaps a club or three but a big fun fly? A big HELI fun fly? With JR sponsored pilots? Sweeeeet. I'm hoping there will be vender booth's set up, maybe I can find a good deal on a JR XP6102 or a XP8103. Or a TREX. And I hope that there are some scale helis too. I know they're raffling off a heli but I don't know which one. Man I'm excited. I'll fill the digi cam and post some pics here for you guy's. I don't know weather to take my BCP up there or not since all I can do is hover tail in. There's gonna be a lot to see, mine might just get hot in the car.
My buddy is gonna be pissed when I tell him I can't come and do the wireing in his drag truck because I'm going to go "play helicopter" but the way I look at it... the heli fun fly is THIS weekend...the drag truck can be ANY weekend. :-)
The fly-in I went to a couple months ago I just stood there with my jaw on the ground. As far as taking your bird, AMA membership will probably be required to fly. An insurance thing. You can get a trial membership for 19.99 if you don't already have it. No membership is required to watch.
