I'm going to merge this with the one Bobby already created.

Oops, sorry about that Alan! I guess we crossed our wires there.

NP. I think we were both a little shocked that Bobby got here first.

I must say it was pretty funny.

Cannot believe that Chris has no faith in me.

We're now less than two weeks away. If anyone has any questions please let me know. For some reason I'm unable to edit my first post, so the updated information is here.

Open flying all day on Friday, November 21st & Sunday, November 23rd.

There will be open flying all day for multirotor and FPV. This section is adjacent to the main flight line so it is still all incorporated. Their will be an obstacle course as well as a dedicated FPV course.

5 Helicopter flight stations will be open during the "Helicopter" time interval, then will be the "airplane" flight interval.

Numerous prizes will be given away including:

Plug and Play DT520 Helicopter complete with iKon Flybarless controller and HobbyWing ESC
Redwing 30cc 76" Extra SC Airplane
Hitec Stuntmaster Airplane
Pulse Batteries
Quantum Motors
HobbyWing ESCs
Scorpion products
Complete Hobby Wireless FPV system
and much more.

I want to send a big thank you to HeliFreak as well for giving us the idea of doing a night raffle at the event to promote night flying. I was told that event was awesome and I hate I had to miss it.

Hopefully this will give everyone a good idea of the site layout.

IT'S ON...RAIN OR SHINE! All the way through Sunday.

I wish I could say that the weather looks to be perfect. Unfortunately that isn't the case. After much discussion we feel the best thing to do is continue forward with the event. It is too late in the year to reschedule. Lets all come out and have a great time anyway. Be sure to bring some aircraft that you don't mind flying in the rain. We'll all walk away having a great time and good stories to tell.

Remember, we have tons of great prizes from our wonderful sponsors. The inclement weather may drastically increase your chances of winning a fabulous prize!

We'll also have new RCTS shirts available for this event. Unfortunately we didn't have any rain coats made up.

The field will be open for the RCTS event Friday through Sunday. The weather for Sunday looks good, so plan on staying into Sunday to get some good flying in. We'll be there flying, talking, and possibly even cleaning up from the event.

There is electricity on site. BVRC has a huge generator that is wired into their stationary table. We will make one of these table a "Charging Only" table so that those without generators need not worry.
