Hey guys I am going to be in Orlando Florida July 5-15th and would like to go flying at least one of those days. The only feild that I found in Orlando says that you have to be an invited guest to fly there. I am going to bring my 35% extra with. If I can find a field and some people to go flying with. Any suggestions?

Also If there are any fields along the way. In between Mn. and Florida I might like to stop there for a day also on the way back home.

Thanks for the info and help.

Voodoo keep me posted on the field situation.

And I will definately give you a call skunk

I am sorry I won't have Marina with me. Oh how I wish.:210: But the wife will be with. She is also tall thin and blonde.:198: But to my dismay, never dresses like that. And isn't quite that good looking.:212: Was that my outside voice?:199: DON'T TELL HER I SAID THAT!!!:197:

That's a sweet deal. I will definately call and hook up with you guys. I am probably not as seasoned as all of you. But I can throw down a little. I have only been flying about a 1 1/2 years to almost 2. But with our winters its more like 1 year compared to you guys.LOL Any way it will be a good time. I am looking forward to it. And just getting away from the rest of the tourists for a day or two.

Talk to ya later

Its flying in circles that gets you in trouble. Thats when all the mid airs happen. If you just sit in one place then you won't hit anyone else. But the guy that is flying in circles will hit you.:199:

I probably won't be able to fly till the weekend of the 11th and 12th. We are going to do the Disney World thing for the first five days we are down there. But we are going to be in Daytona for a couple of days and on the Gulf side for a couple of days. We haven't decided where on that side yet. I will keep you guys informed.

I will probably be bringing something different than my extra with now too. I pancaked her in last weekend at our fly in and probably won't have time to fix the damage. We will see.

I had a great time! Even if we didn't do a ton of flying. The stories were worth the trip.

We had a good time. I couldn't believe parking cost almost as much as a ticket to the evil mouse world.

Any way I plan on doing some traveling in the near future specifically for flying. So I hope to hook up with you guys again.

Thanks for everything!!

Donnie, yard dart a couple of 40%'s and you have payed for a lifetime at Mickey World. I am presently having a Voo Doo moment and have digressed back to glow and maidened an Extra with a OS1.60. After loosing the 40% AirWild to the "non-existent Futaba Rx heat issue" I have made the switch to Spectrum, I went with the DX-7 SE so my heli's get some good time as well. I will need to get some practice in before IMAC Ocala. Rede is totally confused!!!!!!
