IRCHA has explored the options and is pleased to announce that a pit area will be set aside for the scale and vintage fliers for the 2008 jamboree. This will enable each faction to share and to help any other pilots wishing to enter the scale world or dust off that old machine in the corner of the basement. Since its inception, the intent of the jamboree was to be a forum for members to share knowledge & experience for the advancement of the hobby. This is what has helped the organization grow through the years and to provide a common bond for the future of model helicopters.

I wanted to take a moment to remind all those that attend the 2008 jamboree of this fact. In past years it has been echoed on the forums about the pilots inability to fly much. With the 2.4 technology upon us, last year I actually heard some pilots saying “even with the record attendance, I flew more than I ever have at past jamborees”. This is awesome! We should also remind ourselves that it is not all about flying. We can fly at our local fields, but we may not have the level of experience and knowledge so close to us all in one location! So make use of the seminars we set up for the pilots. Take a few minutes and look at the FAI, Scale and Vintage groups.

We will be announcing key sponsors and attending the Toledo Expo in April…. this promises to be another record year for helicopters!

Enjoy the event, and soak it ALL up!

Can't wait!!! I booked my room at the Day's Inn in February!!

[eyeflyhelis]

so is this supposed to be bigger than the EFS flyin?

[Caleb Phillips]

EFS? I don't know if you're joking or not (since you've been flying for a while) but the IRCHA jamboree is huge man.

[joco]

So huge that last year they set a record for the LARGEST RC event in the country... surpassing Joe Nall

[Finless]

Yep... and GO FIGURE... I was the pilot that got the award for being the LARGEST pilot sign up! I AM honored LET ME TELL YOU....
I got free IRCHA membership and lifetime IRCHA pilot FREE sign up!

I don;t know how I got so lucky but so you know the DAY I signed up.... Was also my Birthday! #48!!!! So talk about luck!

I hope it is larger this year and someone else gets this nice prize!

I was SOOOO proud to get this award. I have to share the link even if it is a video on another site.

Forgive my ignorance but the reason I added the '?' after EFS was because I didn't know what it was an acronym for. Could it possibly be 'Erickson Flight School'? If that the case then I'll take your comment as a joke. Otherwise, I've been thinking about it for the past day or so and cannot fir the life of me figure out what EFS is.

[eyeflyhelis]

Yep thats what it stands for

EFS is more than just some letters, its an institution, a learning center, a commons of fight information and most important -- just one big frickin joke !

EFS - where your dreams turn into nightmares !

I was thinking about making the drive and schooling all you little girls. Only thing is that it's fairly close [in time] to IRCHA and every time I fly a crash is inevitable.
