I would SO like to go to this. I can get down there pretty easy, it's the shipping all my crap that I think would have me hating life. Never done it before but I will probably go through the motions at some point. This and IRCHA are on my list. Orlando in December would likely be a great change of venue for a couple days.

Get ready for our auto rotation contest! First prize is $300.00 cash, second prize is a HC3-Xtreme FBL system.

Thank you HeliCommand!

Oboy Oboy!

The Orlando Heli Blowout is only 10 days away and on behalf of the TORCHS Club, I am very proud to announce that Scorpion and Empire/ GAUI has stepped up as big time sponsors of the Saturday Evening Night Fly!

First, we will have an all out battle to crown the first OHB Night Fly Champion! Up to 10 pilots may sign up at the Registration table. All pilots may enter. The winner will be
chosen based on crowd applause. Best flight wins $300 CASH!

To close out the night, we will have one of my favorites! Members from Team GAUI and Team Scorpion will be part of an Ultimate Fire Fly Experience. Fireworks, Pyro, Lights... what more could one ask for???

Haven't seen one yet? It may go a little something like this:

Bobby Watts XFC 2012 night flight take 2.MTS (7 min 57 sec)

Open flying will be permitted afterwards...

See you all next weekend!
Bobby
