On the XFC website: http://futabarc.com:80/xfc-rc/index.html they show next years XFC dates as June 18 - 20th 2008? My 2008 calander shows those dates landing on Wed-Thur- Fri. Can that be right? Did they mean July 2008? Am I screwing the dates up or what. Any know what the dates are for real?

June 18-20, 2008 is Fri-Sun. You are looking at 2007.

We have it as "tentative" on the site! LOL We want to make sure everybody gets there in time for the pilots meeting. Correct/firm dates will be posted shortly on the XFC site. Stay tuned for new info as well on all the events.

We will be accepting 15 pre-invited pilots on both the airplane and heli side. There will be 3 qualifier spots up for grabs on Thurs, making the field of 18.

Default Re: XFC 2008 Announcement

Sorry guys, I am a little confused! Aside from the guys who are invited, there are only three spots for the people who send their videos in? So out of all the videos and applicants who are not on the invitation list, only three will be selected. Is that the case?

Thank you,
Reza
