Noon?
Wreck, I bet you can start flying anytime you want. You can email Mike (whom you met when you came over here a few weeks ago) and yell at him about it!

fxstbi (Pete),
Yes this will be fun flying, no contest .
I hope to have everything from electrics to wgeffons' big birds and gas and electric choppers and anything that is AMA legal to fly.
WreckRman2,
You can start flying at sunup if you want (or in the dark if you get here that early).
This is going to be an open house that the general public is going to be invited to. I thought this would give most of the pilots time to get here and get unloaded and set up before the general public started to show up. Maybe I should have started sooner. This is our (read my ) first time doing this. I hope I learn from any mistakes. If this goes over well we hope to make it an annual event.
Hope to see you all,
Mike18

Hi Wayne,
ilrcflyboy knows I lurk here and at the .net board. Do you think he is trying to tell me something about how I should hold my TX and how we should spend some money ?

Hey all,
I just read in another post that wgeffon is going to demo RCAVI8TERs' 40% Carden Edge.
I bet we can get him to tail tap it if we cheer loud enough

Brian, Mike,, et el,,
Yes, I am planning on scootin' on down..
Sadly, Mike, w/o the little white twin.. It had a minor mishap
which broke the right side of the wing and I have not yet attack'd
it.. I am just going to make a new wing and incorporate a single
fuel tank per motor instead of that silly fuel system that was in it..
Wayne, I *JUST* fired up that 38.. I didn't have fuel in it so it
only ran for about 10 seconds.. But it fires at least.. <thanks>
See ya 'all Suunnnddayyyyyyyy :bananahea
