I forgot to mention while typing the last message... if anyone here is in the Raleigh, NC area, RDRC is having a Mall Show this weekend at Triangle Town Center. This is the preface for the Fly-For-Tots funraiser on September 23-24. You can find info, flyers, etc about this on our club website at:

There's only a few days left to get in on the raffle, and the huge list of prizes is growing and growing. You can see the list and buy tickets online at:

http://www.scootworks.com/cart/shop/shoprdrc.htm

You don't have to worry about waiting for the tickets to arrive to you via mail before the fund raising event on Sept 23-24, as we log the ticket numbers and will contact everyone who wins. Raffle winners will also be posted online immediately after the drawings. The list of goodies is unreal, pop over to the link above and have a look. It's cheap to get in on it, and ALL proceeds (every penny!) go directly to the kids at 'Smiles for Little Faces'. We raised over $5000 last year, and should be able to rock and roll this year, considering the sponsorship and support from the R/C Industry we'bve had this year. Please help us help the kids with your participation in this event.

Looks like the weather is going to be great this year. I'm getting all my planes and helis ready to head out tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures from Friday at the RDRC Toys for Tots flyin. People are startign to arrive and we got quite a bit of flying in. Hey, just a little note the wind is from the right, that means a left hand pattern.
Come on out, we will also have a full scale helicopter doing rides, a raffle for a Stearman ride (airport 3 miles away) and a ton of raffle prizes.
The field is looking great and plenty of aircraft, Jets, Helicopters, OUTLAWS!, foamies, Big Pigs, you name it, if it flys, bring it out. Hey we even had a hot air ballon land there today.
You will be sorry if you miss it.

Well I'm stinky, tired, and have a bunch of stuff in my car that I'm not looking forward to unloading, but I'm in a great mood because this event was fantastic! Definitely sign me up for next year. Looking forward to seeing more pictures from the event, as well as the vid from Higher Plane. That was the first time I've landed my Extra with someone running next to it with a camera, talk about pressure to not bounce! The noon displays were all awesome, and the 6-plane Outlaw flight was insane! Thanks to the RDRC crew for putting on a perfect event; hopefully you guys can finally get some sleep now!

Fly-For_Tots wrap-up...

This past Wednesday night, October 25, we invited 'Smiles for Little Faces' (a Make-a-Wish group) to our club meeting. A check for $10,000 (!!) was presented to them, and was the proceeds from our September 2-day Fly-For-Tots Fly-in and Huckfest event. It was a goal we set, and didn't think we had a chance in making...but thanks to all the support from everyone, it was achieved!

You can see the event unfold in the "- Sponsor ThankYou!" link in the [Event Stuff] section of the LH menu on our website at www.rd-rc.org. If you haven't done it yet, be sure to check out the slideshow in that same section called "- Fly-For-Tots Pics", and scroll down to the [Club Stuff] section of the menu and look at the October newsletter.

134 registered pilots, HUNDREDS of aircraft, folks from all over the east coast and beyond, HUGE industry support, etc. T'was the largest event in North Carolina, and already has folks slated to demo at the '07 Event!

Thanks again to everyone, and this forum, for helping us make it happen!
