Sadly, I can not attend this year. For those of you interested in going, let me say it was a ton of fun. Great people, good food, and AWESOME flying. I tied with Fitz on fastest EDF (we both clocked 112mph level flight). However, I have a feeling that record will be slashed this year.
Mark it on your calendar fellas and take a ride out to NWRC! -Lee |

Sorry to hear you guys can't make it. We are getting more prizes for our raffle. So far, we have 4 EDFs to give out. But you do have to be present to win
 I've had some questions about our field and EDF friendliness since we have a grass runway. Many of us are hand or bungee launching our jets but jets like the Habu on 4 cells have easily taken off of our runways. Last year, i didn't see anyone having problems. We should have a great time again this year! |

Stuart, thanks for letting me know about the event. I'm looking forward to attending.
After my bone marrow transplant I feel brand new. So hopefully I can put something together and get it flying for the event. Regards, Orlando |

Sorry you won't make it this year. Pretty amazing we both tied in speed with two totally different planes. I don't think we could catch up to 6S "Sniper" mentioned earlier. I plan to make it again this year (hopefully nothing will catch on fire this time).  -FTZ |

More prizes have been rolling in from our local hobby shops: New Creations R/C WHobbies Randy's Hobbies Larry's Hobbies Apache Jets R/C Hobbies Hope everyone can make it Saturday! -Stuart |

The event went great! We had over 30 jets show up and lot of spectators. The weather was rediculous - winds up to 30mph and some rain but everyone stayed through the event. Our local hobby shops really did a great job of contributing - Apache Jets, WHobbies, New Creations, RC HobbyShop, Randy's Hobbies and Larry's Hobbies all pitched in to make the day a lot of fun.
We had an Evader hit 120mph and a Habu32 at 149mph down wind. We did have two grand prize winners based on best of show - An Easytiger C-17 and a beautiful Byron F-16 running on 10cells. C-17 was unloading "pooper troopers" on the upwind - very cool! I will try to post pictures tonight. -Stu |
