I think last year there was a 1/4 scale minimum until something like 4pm'ish'. Not sure if that is going to be in effect again or not. Even if it is there is still lots of sky left after 4.... This year (if its still alive) I'm going to bring my beat up EF profile edge and try and break it in the air....should be fun. |

yes we will!!!!! man, this thing is beautiful... the bummer is... now i wish i would've gotten dad the 50center instead! this one is lookin' small to me already!!!!! LOL... bill hempel's new arfs sure are impressive. there are litteraly ZERO complaints we have about this airframe. it is covered flawlessly and the construction is A1! my dad is a pro quality builder and he is VERY picky about arfs and this one has passed with flying colors! we'll be letting her eat the st. lewy sky at orchard farms for sure! see you then! matt |

Please forgive me this question but.....What is a Huckfest?  I am just 2 1/2 hours away from both Rockford and Stl.Have not had much time to do anything since I quit pattern in the 70s but now since retirement I would like to become aquainted with local activities again. Most of the fun flies and weekend events around here have dried up over the last few years.  Thanks, John AMA 1121 |

HEY CRACKY..... see that you are from Wentzville, MO. I used to buy my pattern stuff at a great hobby shop there. The guy that ran it was named John and he was a pilot for some airline in Stl. The shop went out during a divorce....too bad! John AMA 1121 |

John, The Huckfest is slang for party of the year. We just happen to have two of them really close to us! Bring everything you have that is flyable and Plenty of liquid fuel for your airplane and more importantly you after the flying is finished. Oh yeah at St Louis all the fireworks you can light to! Only real rule is no bad tudes or the gate is that way. JD |

John, Huckfests are a big fly-in where 3D and bas ass flying are encouraged. We got tunes playing on the stereo for you to mix up a freestyle in your mind. A little trash talking is also encouraged....I bet that FastFord will be given a pair of chin guards for the weekend.....girls----pink Come on out. Its a grand time! |

HF's are the true 3D pilot's graceland! I'm not quite sure how to describe them other than MAD flying in all directions with a ceiling of about 18 feet!!!! LOL
