As far as ATLANTA well you have your work cut out for you if your going to out do this... Pretty hard to top that fireworks/Flight Demo.
Atlanta does do a impressive job of Parking 50cc airplanes in trunks of cars though....... I mean transformed a 50cc YAK into a YAK-IN-A-SACK.....

Good to see everyone hope everyone made it home safely..

There isn't a Huckfest you can attend that won't be off the hizzy.
I mean.. its a HUCKFEST!

But the STL boys, gotta give them props... great start to the season, and so far the best Huckfest to date.

Default Re: STL HUCKTACULAR was off the HOOK!

Thanks guys... had a great time.

Quick story.. about the fireworks vs 40%ers

Two little Indian boys were asking there mom about how they got there names.
blah blah blah blah.

And then the the indian mom asked "Why do you ask 2 dogs f****** and Sitting duck-asaurus"?(Credit to Karen Zang for the sitting duck name) Maybe it should be the new and improved super bad ass Sitting duck-asaurus)

When Snap asked if I wanted to go out and let them shoot fireworks at my plane, He said we would go out by the corn and Hover in towards the fliteline, so I said to myself, SELF... I think I can dodge the fireworks... Thats quite a ways away..LOL.. I was wondering why every one else was comming out to the corn with us...At that moment in time I knew I was screwed...LOL.

So thanks Snap for taking all the heat and direct hits... I put on the puss-asaurus suit on and stayed out a little further... Zigging and Zagging the best I could to avoid holes in my plane. They still managed to get me when I did venture in, but not near as bad as yours.

Again, thanks for all your hospitality Jason... Your the best.

As a member of Orchard Farm RC, the host club, I'd like to compliment all of the Giants who attended the St. Louis Huckfest. They were a great group of pilots who could have fun enjoying the flying, companionship and be considerate and helpful all at the same time. It made all the difference to the many of us who spent the time and effort to pull this all together in about ten days.

Thanks to you all for a great weekend!!!

There were only 2 crashes that did any significant damage....a dead stick in a 5 foot hover and a star spangled gear twister. The Dead stick will be flying again. Not bad for 65 pilots hucking in a 20 mph wind for 3 days.

Thanks to everyone in St. Louis you guys and gals really did a great job getting ready on such short notice and everything went off without a hitch (from my perspective anyway) Thanks to all the pilots great show and great people. I can't really huck a gasser yet but you guys make everyone feel welcome and your willing to help if anyone needs it.

It was a great time and I hope we can have another one next year, it's the only huckfest close enough for me to attend...

I'm just a wanna be hucker, the only thing I really hucked was some depron (E-Flite Extra 260). I did fly the little H9 27% Extra 260 but most of my flight was an excercise in avoiding Jason Cohen and Jason Danhakl who were putting on a great show! Too bad I missed it watching my plane doing laps

The 260 that was lost was not Cracky's,there were 3 of the new H9 260's but only 2 of them made it out alive

Scott Gaines

Next stop, Heatwave in the Heartland. Be there!
