Default Holy Schnikies , Saturday was off the hook!

Well Saturday at the Snap a Huckfest is coming to an end (sort of) and MAN what a day. Flying commenced at 8am and ran until the rain hit. Tons of flights, a pile of gaggle hovers and even a few tragedies took place, it was a proper HUCKFEST in every sense. New friends were made, old friends flew together and some Bad Ass New England Hucking took place.

The day ended a bit early when a weather front moved in, and we took the trip over to Snap A Saurus's house for the evening activities.
Back yard hucking, a belly dancer, and a snake.. I can't say anymore.
GOOD ASS TIME.

Full report to come, I'm missing the rest of the party...


Small photo flood at the following link, enjoy.

A 35% H9 260 had just dunked it's tail in the pool and was pulling out vertically when the Chapman Cap was making a low pass. The motor appeared to be ripped clean form the Extra and the Cap lost its wing. After a few (getting used to flying with one wing" passes, the Cap pilot did an unbelievable Hemple in the grass. Definitely a crowd pleaser although sad to see two nice planes destroyed
