Special Classic Pattern Event in Muncie, Sept 22 - 26, 2009

Freebird- The dates are firm...the Vintage R/C event is on the calendar.

"Rusty's Classic Pattern Tailgate Party" is firm for Friday 9/25 (morning) through Saturday 9/26. The tailgate party at a minimum will include ice chests full of sodas, the most experienced aerobatic "minds" available for building, finishing and trimming advice as well as models available for flying. If it would not conflict with the already scheduled Vintage R/C event, an evening get together featuring a panel of special guests. Having executed a number of these type of events over the years, the best interaction is not scripted with an informal atmosphere. I just want to meet other modelers who are "classicly minded", fly as much as possible and celebrate my son Chip's 7th birthday. (Photo is of Chip learning to fly his old school Falcon 56, same kind of model Dad soloed 30+ years prior to the photo, summer 2007).

Definition of my vision:

I think of it as "Come to Rusty's tailgate party before the big game in the parking lot of the stadium." In this case the big game is the scheduled Vintage event at AMA headquarters and my "tailgate party" based at my RV probably at AMA flying site #3.

The Vintage Event will have (3) classes of aerobatic competition including pre 1955, 1955 - 1905, 1965 - 1974, a scale event with 1960's rules, models & equipment on display, Kazmirski Taurus museum induction and OPEN FLYING.

Please provide feedback and thoughts to help me, help you, make the trip to Muncie in September 22 through 26, 2009!
