Default 2nd annual EAC Memphis Indoor and Freestyle Championship

500,000 sqft.

The Extreme Aerobatic Club will be putting on an Indoor Electric Fly In and Extreme Freestyle Championships. It will be held at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, TN. The date is March 10th & 11th 2006. This event is a one of a kind event. We will be conducting an all day open fly in with a freestyle contest on Saturday for the half-time show. We will have 20 of the top pilots in the world competing for cash and prizes. The top five finishers from last years contest will have an automatic invite back for 2006. We are going to invite 10 pilots and we will have an open audition for the 5 remaining open spots on Saturday morning. This contest also has a very unique twist. All the pilots' identities will be hidden from the judges. This will be done to prevent any judging bios. We also have another first for the finals of the freestyle contest. The 10 finalist will all fly identical airplanes in the finals that we will provide. We will be playing music all day and have plenty of open flying. This is an AMA sanctioned event. Proof of AMA Insurance required. We will have open flying from 12PM to 10PM on Friday the 10th and Saturday the fly in starts at 9AM and goes until 10PM. We will have electricity available for charging. Bring your A/C Chargers.

Admission is $5 to get in the door. Any AMA member that wants to fly will be asked to pay an additional $15 landing fee and show a current AMA card. Children under 12 get in free.


Pelase let me know if you plan to attend so we can put together a pilot and frequency list.
Pictures and results from last year can be found @

Did we mention this guy will be there? http://www.skipstewartairshows.com/v2/pics/008.jpg

Obviously, that plane won't fit inside, but he's one of the judges, and will be signing autographs. There should be some copies of his DVD there too.

I think it will be interesting seeing everyone fly their routines all with the same plane!
