Hey guys, are you sick of winter. Do you miss seeing your flying buddies and hanging out? Well our good friends at Hobbico once again this year have put together an event to get you though these gray days. That's right it is now time for the 2012 E-FEST! Hobbico is hosting “E-Fest” -- an indoor electric-flying festival where participating pilots stretch their skills to the limit...and spectators shake off the winter doldrums by watching edge-of-your-seat indoor aerobatics. E-Fest will be held at the University of Illinois Armory Track & Field Facility in Champaign, Illinois on February 11 & 12, 2012. With its 100-foot ceiling and vast open space, the Armory offers an ideal stage for hot R/C flying during cold winter days. Both days of E-Fest allow several hours for open flying. Other times are reserved for slow & micro flyers, jets, helis, 3-D, combat, and sponsored demos. Saturday's fun concludes with “Black-Out Night Flying”...when the Armory fills with music and flying LEDs. Don't miss this winter's Big Event in R/C...

Take a stand and...

He was one of our "go-to" guys when it came to reviews for FG and RCG as well. The amount of work that is required to successfully complete a review is enormous, even so, Tim would always get the reviews done on time, and in a professional manner. In addition to being an amazing reviewer, Tim was a great guy, and an awesome pilot. ...
