Once again we'll be offering exclusive prizes for pilots that pre-register for OHB

every time another 50 pilots have pre-registered, we add another prize to draw from.

at 50 Pilots we give away:

- a Spartan VX1e Flybarless System

at 100 pilots we give away:

- a Set of DS-7001HV full size servos (3 servos)

at 150 pilots we give away

- Set of DS-8001HV full size brushless servos (3 servos)

for 200 or more pre-registered pilots we will have additional prizes

the drawings will be done during the event

remember only pre-registered pilots will be eligible for these!

Thanks to BK Designs for providing these!

Pilots of all skill levels are always welcome at any event so please never worry about being judged on your flying skills. Every pilot knows how hard it is to fly and everyone has crashed, lol. Make sure you go cause this event is second to none!

This is my first time flying at the event and I was wondering what the protocol was for setting a shade tent along the flight line? Is it first come first serve? And I have no problem being way on the end, I don't want too many people observing my crappy flying skills
