It looks like I will be able to be there...

Interesting? I would love to make the drive! Will people be able to practice F3P with 32" Depron pattern planes? Or is it more of a parkzone demolition Derby?

I purchased my self a Fancy foam AJ Osiris for Xmas, Would be great to spend the day flying it..

I don't have a definite from Hobby Hut but they will hopefully make it. I haven't heard back from Castle as a donor yet either. We've had the event before Christmas in the past. I think that having after the holidays makes it tough for people to commit. Theres a hobby shop near Immaculata that would like to come too.

It took a bit of begging our athletic directors to find a date that worked.

As for a schedule, I can set aside time for practicing f3p throughout the day. Closer to the end of our event usually means open air, and most pilots are gone by 4:30, so staying late could pay out.

Running a 20 minute flying type rotation substantially increased aircraft lifetime and pilot friendliness.

Definitely not. Our first event was, but it's much better now.
