Hey guys, I'm one to never turn down a chance for our members to save some coin on a great product.

The FIRST 15 people to order either the 85CC Yak 55SP or the 85cc Extra 300 will get a nice Holiday price break! The promotional sales option will go up on the website Friday morning so get ready to order quickly before time runs out! OMP will not be open on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday but will answer all emails and phone messages on Monday. Phone orders will be taken on Monday as well (If there are any sale planes left!)

We are having a ball out here at Orchard Farms. Today has been much easier on planes, but OMG is it HOT. 98 deg in the shade, 115 in the sun! I think I may melt!

First and foremost I'd like to thank Jtec/ Radiowave for supporting the Huckfest series and making it possible for us to be here covering the events. I can not wait to get my JTEC flying for the...
