IRCHA ...looking for a few good Volunteers...

The Dude II · 01-27-2010, 09:20 PM

and students too!

Concept is this: Heli-Clinic.
Got a question or want more details on "Why & how do you do that?".
We are here to help.
Have a heli that's just keeping you down and want someone to give you a hand at checking the setup?
We are here to help.

At Site 3 we have designated hover-only areas for those not quite ready for the "prime-time 200x 200 boxes" that Site 4 offers.
http://www.ircha.org/index.php?pr=2010_Jamboree

We also have tents, tables & chairs available to sit down and help setup birds with our fellow Heli-Brotheren.

What I'm asking for:
We need volunteers that are willing to help a stranger setup what ever bird they bring, to the best of our abilities, and help them along in the hobby.

We did this in 2009 for Thursday & Friday and had some nice success. This year we are looking to step it up but we need more man-power to take it to the next level.

The vision is to have 3-4 "instructors" on hand between 10AM & 4PM to help students. Maybe split it into 3-hour shifts - unless you are up for the entire 6 hours (you'll be beat -but it's fun, rewarding work).

I'd like to use the second tent to set a schedule for seminars: (for example)
X-o-clock the topic is:
Blade and Paddle Selection
Tools needed to Build
Flight Modes/Conditions
Pitch & Throttle Curves
Gyro Setup
Swash Setup
And the list goes ON!

IRCHA 2010 is approaching and there are helis & pilots that want some help, if you have a desire to help and enjoy that grin on someones' face when they get a taste of success, give me a PM.

thanks for your time,
Gus

Plans for an FAI flight-line(s) (AKA big sky moves)
Shuttle bus running between sites

What state / country is it in? Search the website and can't find it.

Found it: Muncie, Indiana. Maybe more people would go if they listed the location on the website.

Assuming I'm still employed in August and get my lodging squared away, I'm in.

Pinecone · 01-28-2010, 03:35 AM

If I make it, I will be willing to help.

Hi,

I would love to help, but I will be tied up with work.

I plan to stay on site this year so I should be able to volunteer some of my time. Any time except Friday afternoon and Friday night.

Is there any chance we could schedule a HF group photo this year?
