| Will it hover?? ![]() |
I think you guys are misreading his quotes. The new flight line will NOT be 3D only, Its for folks that are on 2.4 and want to fly more because of the longer line at the main flight line and you can probably really 3D down there if you are on 2.4. I believe you can still do 3D at the main flight line just have to keep it over the trees which is fine with me. That is how I read the statements. I could be wrong but I think this is what it sounds like. So before we start a warbird/3D war lets see what the powers at be say.

| I Fly, therefore I Am! ![]() | Hey All The second flight line is going to be a step in the right direction because of 3D Flying. I agree, 3D and other type of aircraft and flying styles should be allowed on the second flight line. It really shouldn't matter, -It will be understood that 3D and down in the dirt HUCKING IS ALLOWED! -The 3D guys are allowed to strut down on the deck and in the middle of the runway. -Low- high speed passes should be allowed beyond the runway (intentions must be announced) -Time limit on hucking on the deck. -2.4g tx only -All AMA Rules must apply What it really boils down to is the SPOTTERS. Spotters is a must, and they must understand not to get too awed with other planes hucking, protect there pilot and most of all, communicate! Let the pilot know if the deck is clear to come in and hover. It will also be understood that if the flight line is full, you cannot do your whole "4 min 3D routine" on the deck. A time limit of 15 - 30 seconds should be enforced, for hucking down low. Spotters must listen too each other to let every body know what their pilots' intentions are, i.e. low-pass, dead stick, or landing. Everybody on the deck at that time should punch-out immediately. No hucking in your neighbors face, unless you are communicating and intending to hover right along side of another plane (very cool!). You can have one of your flying buds spot for you, or the pilot on deck behind you should have the honors. WE at Florida Freestyle Aerobatics Association follow these simple rules and never had any mishaps, other than the normal situations that a regular RC field has on a weekly bases. It works for FFAA, and we put on gatherings of 10 to 20 pilots a couple times a month around central FLA. It can work for JOE NALL, and it really pays off for the spectators. I can only hope and pray that the Florida eXtreme 3D Fly-In (FX3D) will be successful as far as safety, camaraderie, and maximum fun for the whole family!

Someone needs to come up with an airplane hauler to go back and forth from down there.

| TEAM ME ![]() | From my understanding the new runway will be 2.4g only. All 3D flying will be at the new runway only with the exception of noontime demos. If you are not flying 2.4 but want to fly 3D you're just out of hucking luck.
