...and more dudes rolled in... Brian Blois (tec) from Roanoke Rapids brought his ZDZ Super 80 powered SD Extra. Josh Bunn (Ifly3D) pulled out his 33% SD Yak, also with ZDZ power.

Wes Devaney (the Huckin Plumber) brought his DA100 powered H9 Edge and Bob/Matt had the new 50cc 3D Hobby Shop Extra 260 in addition to a bunch of cool electrics (nice rack!)

| Re: Fly'n with the Circus. RDRC's traveling Circus
The flight line stayed busy all day long. We needed air traffic control some times. There were several of those "short antenna" radios in play - very good stuff! Fred Midgett from Higher Planes Productions was also on hand to shoot some promotional video for 3D Hobby Shop. Man he has some cool equipment and a good artist's eye! Pilot Bob and Pilot Matt did the flying honors.......

Jay Benson's 35% SD Yak (boy, there's a bunch of these out there!) didn't like sitting in the pits too much.....it prefered to "hang out" over the runway. Jay hucked in down all day!

And everyone else wanted a piece of the action, too! Here's BaxterNick after wearing out his Extra. I'm diggin' your prop, Nick, and it looked like you were, too! And Tec kept his huckin' all day as spotter Alan Arthur assists.

Of course, I couldn't let them have all the fun so I kept the QQ Yak working while Benson wielded the camera.

With all the heat and humidty comes the threat of afternoon precipitation. We haven't had much these days, but rain fell on us for about 10-15 minutes this day. We just hunkered down a waited it out.............

....well, most of us did. Tweek (Dave Hockaday) wasn't 'skeerd' and just flew his Hobby Lobby "Taxi" from under the tent! The rain was falling harder than it looks in the pics, guys! Dot Com (aka Ifly3D) was amused.

The Jacksonville guys had a drive ahead of them so they began to pack up. But the rest of us hung out, told lies, and checked out each other's airplanes. Tec won the award for the "hottest pilot".

Then the clouds cleared, the sun appeared and the angels sang..... We weren't done yet. Not even close. After we bid farewell to our J-ville compadres, the flight line went right back to looking like this.
