Hey Fellas!!! Heard you all had a GREAT weekend & love the shots!!

I've created a gallery for the event here in our "Big Events Gallery". Please upload to this spot so we can always have 'em around to peek at.

You can also upload a .zip file with photos inside and the software will automatically expand them out.

Thanks guys!!

Guys,

Max is setting up a gallery so we can load up as many good photos as you have. Once its up and running we will put a link in here for everyone to navigate over easily.

The site is roughly two miles from the international airport or about 15 minutes on the freeway. If anyone is ever coming down to go skiing or on business or just wasting time between flights (Airline Pilots) then give me a holler and I will get someone to come pick you up and take you out.

Saturdays and Sundays are the best days with the field being closed for maintenance on Mondays.

Restaurant is open weekends. Great meals, great service, cool drinks and beers for non flyers. Or after flying flyers.

Ammenities include paved race car track, off highway buggy track, U Control area, Heli area. Lake for floats, yachts and boats.

If its RC you can do it here.

If you ever get a chance to visit Chile, make sure that you stop by and see this flying site. First class, which goes along with all the club members as well as my gracious hosts, Christian, Allan, Fernando. A first class show and operation all the way around. The event draws a great group of people from Chile and Argentina, and I had the opportunity to meet many new friends and look forward to seeing them all again. Thanks for everything, gang!

30th 31st and 1st of April. It was hard to judge the numbers but we had around about 200 pilots and over the three days 1500 or so visitors.

This was rather low key but we are working on one that will let it all hang out in the next couple of years.

As for Chile its a bloody fantastic place, safe and very nice people. It does not move fast in a lot of places but then again thats part of the mistique of the place.

RC models and pilots are world class, me excluded, with some of the latest equipment and models.

The eye candy is not too bad either.

Keep am eye out for next year as it may be the start of a bigger event, and if your passing by call us. A good contact is Fernando on the Giant Scale Aviation site. If your into jets, 3D, IMAC, pattern, gliders or cars and boats we can give you weekend to remember.

The restaurant is open weekends and often its oysters, lobster, abalone, fillet steaks, rib eyes and even chicken for the weight concious. Beers and wines if you like.

No hotdogs, burgers or fries and a good meal will set you back at least $10 to $15 USD.

So dont be shy if your passing by anyone, We would love to see you and entertain you.

PG13 sorry mate.

But let me tell you something. I have been here 13 years and still am not sick of it. The eye candy that is.
