| It will fly!!!   |  XFC 2008 Announcement
Sunday, after the winners ceremony, The XFC committee made some announcements about the 2008 XFC and the changes that are planned. First, the field will be limited to 18 competitors in each discipline. 15 by invitation, and 3 by a qualifier just before contest (probably on Thursday before). Also they will be filling any spots left by invited pilots that withdraw from the competition. Second, there will be a "Night Flying Competition" Third there will be a "Team competition" The team will be at least two aircraft flying together. The way it was described a team can have two helicopters, 5 helicopters, three airplanes, a helicopter and an airplane, basically any way you want to put it together. Watch the XFC website for details.

Great ideas. I have heard from numerous persons that they missed the qualifying into the Masters that used to exist- great spot for an undiscovered talent to get in. The other ideas are really good one's too- I like the innovation. Dave |

Yes there was. You weren`t there for some reason. We actually had five heli guys try out and we took three into the competition. No airplane guys came forward....Too bad, we paid out a LOT of money. Bill |

I cant do that. It takes longer than 4 minutes to fly the Unlimited sequence.

I thought I read somewhere that mandatory maneuvers were going to be eliminated next year. Is this correct? Seems like having a competition based on freestyle flying only would be pretty tough to judge considering each individual has their own idea of what type of flying looks best.
