I'm still getting more pics together and editing video. There is a full write up coming soon and all of that Jazz. I hope we can get a few of our sponsors in here to share their side of the story and what FFT was for them

Awesome job Diggs & Jamie! You guys rock! I'll try to get some solid info on more of the particulars for your next show. Again, you guys supporting the FFT means a lot more than I can say.

I had to look twice before I realized Diggs was in the photo.

I just finished watching about half of the video you have on the HPP site and all I can say is WOW! You were a busy man! Great videos all around. There is one in particular that hasn't been posted yet and I am highly anticipating getting to relive that moment. A very full scalish one

Twice or three times? ;-)

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the show. People are still just catching on to the fact that by the time they get home from a FlightPass covered event there are already DOZENS of HD films posted. We had 30 films up the first night even with showing the Film Fest until 10 PM Saturday night! We are crazy busy at these events, but my passion for RC filming keeps me going and it feels more like fun that work. There are 59 FFT films up so far and I haven't even started editing Sunday afternoon's stuff. The full scale Giles, the second outlaw invasion, Flight of the Pig and Fly Low Girl's Helicopter adventure are all still to come. And if you haven't seen "Lovely Jane" yet from the film fest you are missing out. One of our best films ever if I do say so myself. See it in the Film Fest gallery:

Great Planes Viper 500 Electric

There was a very nice electric conversion of a Viper 500 flying late Saturday. I would love to get details on it. I am actually considering getting one and trying it electric, but need some details. If anyone knows how to get in touch with the owner, please let me know.

Thanks,

Diggs

Thanks, I think I have all the gear to make this happen, except for the plane. I just need to know what size lipos you can haul around in that fuse.

Great event as always Chris. This event pulled in slot of flyers and spectators. I brought my daughter that is 3 with me. She loved the Robinson helicopters that were giving rides. Every 15 minutes when they would come back in to land she would say , "look dad more heicopters!". Next year she is going on a ride.

See you all next year.
