 |  Rocky Mountain Big Bird event
I want to warn everyone that is thinking of coming to the Rocky Mountain Big Bird event in Fort Collins, CO on Aug 15 - 17 that 3D flying will NOT be allowed. I just don't want 3D flyers to waste their time or gas money coming to this event. If you're not a 3D flyer, or want to come even though 3D flying will not be allowed, by all means come and have fun. In years past, I've seen guys show up for the event, and then get told that they can't fly 3D. Obviously, they were not happy. With gas prices as high as they are now, I just don't want to see it happen any more. Jim |

| Re: Rocky Mountain Big Bird event
I've been told by the event director that no 3D is allowed. I asked, What if I am the only one flying? He said he would think about allowing it then. If you want to come to the event because you might be able to fly a little 3D if you are the only one flying, that's up to you. I know several pilots (including me) that won't be attending this year, so you'll have a better chance at being the only one flying. The committee in charge of the event is very much against 3D flying. They are completely out of touch with rest of the hobby. Most of them never even fly, or they might fly a couple times a year.

Jason will be allowed to fly 3D during the noontime airshow. It's all us regular guys that will not be allowed to fly 3D during the "open" flying times. Jim |
