10th Annual Albuquerque Helicpoter Fun Fly Sept. 21-23

Thanks Dave.

We will run the prize give away like last year. First, second and third from each event will get first pick at the table. This is meant to encourage participation in the events.

Next we will draw AMA cards until all of the prizes are given away.

Remember that we will have night flying after the BBQ on Saturday.

Extended forecast is calling for perfect flying weather with clear skies and about 73 degrees.

Here is the raffle heli for this year. This is a custom built Trex 700e V2 3GX. This heli is brand new (only test flown) and is ready to fly. Just need to add a 12s flight pack.

It includes the RX battery and was meticulously built by Don Armstrong

Look at the detail. All wires are inside the frame, all wires are covered and some are even braided for a custom look. The ESC is slightly raised above the frame in order to create better air flow and cooling. Connections are secured and all satellites are DSMX.

The fun fly is almost here! The weather forecast is looking great! Should be a blast for all.

The Trex 700 for raffle is looking sweet. Great job as always Don!

Justin and I should be on the road by 5 or 530 this evening...looking forward a fun weekend!

I think everything went well this weekend. Thanks to everyone who lent a hand. Thanks to everyone who had to travel for this event. We understand that traveling to fun fly events is expensive, tiring and time consuming. I just hope everyone had a good time.

Thanks to Justin Barry for putting on a spectacular show for us. Talk about an all around nice guy. Justin is the man.

I will post the results from all of the events as soon as possible. In the mean time, congrats to the winners of each class and congrats to David Barnett, the winner of our raffle helicopter. We hope you fly the crap out of that thing.
