That is the question now isn't it? With all the funflies I've been to this year, I've definitely made more than I ever have! So... How much do you guys think would be adequate? I want enough so everyone who wants to can partake... But I don't like to bring any home after the Funfly... Lol.

Is it possible to camp Thursday for folks that have to drive a fair distance? Thanks in advance

I've shown up on Thursdays myself in the past... And a fair amount do also... Don't think that should be a problem...

Thanks Phil

I have not been to a fun fly yet, but it looks like I will be able to make it to this one.

Hot apple pie guy I hear the guys going to the heli freak fun fly don't know what the hot apple pie is!!!!!!! Think you should show up and show them. The drive is not bad and the fun fly is great. oh yeah food is great too you will not need to bring any, they had breakfast, lunch and dinner last year.

[Hot Apple Pie Guy]

I'm seriously contemplating it.. ;-)

[lavaandy]

Is lower heli coming to this event ?

[Hot Apple Pie Guy]

I'm noticing there are 3 funflies within a 3 week span...

Othello-
Tri-Cities-
Heli Freak-

Wanna attend them all, but it may be a financial stretch to do so... Gonna have to contemplate which ones I can make it to... As for Lower Heli... I dunno what his plans are... I can send Ken a message in the morning and ask... I'll try to get back to update this thread when I know... ;-)

I plan on crashing lots.

Also what are the pilots field fees, cannot find them anywhere with the googles.

[Hot Apple Pie Guy]

FYI guys... I did get ahold of Ken from Lower Heli... He informed me that he has unpacked his trailer for the rest of the season.

We THANK him for all of his help with our Heli addiction needs at our funflies... But from here on out, we will need to supply ourselves with our crash parts and blades... And we all know how to get ahold of him online. Every time I've ordered through him the shipment was always faster than expected... So, be sure to get any orders in on time so you can bring your spares with you... And if you buy extras and bring spares... Don't be surprised if I hit you up for my own needs if necessary. Lol

Edit: traditionally, pilot fees at our local funflies have been in the $30-35 range... I'd expect it to be somewhere in that range... ;-)

Unfortunately something has come up, and I can't make it out to othello this weekend... :-(

Sorry guys. Have fun without me! I'll see ya at the next one in tri cities, and perhaps HF... I'm gonna try to hit those!

[K2Freak]

And a fine event it was! Some SERIOUS flying talent, mostly respectable weather, hot apple pie, and fantastic field!! See y'all next year!

[Rotorious]

He'll yeah, it was a blast. I think I flew pretty well, but seeing some of those guys fly really inspired me to step it up.

[Rotorious]

Haha, I just realized I commented on the thread from Othello 2014. Oops. I was referring to the event this last weekend.
