Default Re: 2007 XFC VIDEO FLOOD! ~PLANES~

Thanks Chuck - we did things a little different this time around and decided to forgoe the webcast in an effort to bring near realtime filmage that will be around for everyone to see now and in the future. Most of the time only a few can view the webcasts, then they are gone - this event was too important in our eyes to miss.

Friday night Mike and I were in lockdown in the hotel room cranking on this stuff while Momo was back in Cali posting the videos, and photos from articles that we wrote, and pics we took during the day. It was aaaaaaalot of work, and when Saturday night rolled around, it was tough to even check out a 'puter screen without going blind!

Currently, there are over 1500 photos in the XFC Big Events Gallery which can be found here:

Thanks again guys, hope you are enjoying the media flood!

Thanks guys I really had a great time at the XFC. I think the new location is great for this event to really grow.

The plane I was flying this year was a PL Products extra. PL is no longer making this plane but a company named TS Composites has the mold and I do believe will be selling shortly.
The plane flys great and 3d's even better. This plane is my brothers that he let me use for this contest. I need to thank him a bunch for this as he knew that there was a chance it would be coming back in garbage bags!!!!!

High energy baby! And all my buds up here laughed when I said I'll feel sorry for this plane come Saturday..... She's built strong as steel though and I like her.

What a blast it was!

Any way we can get high quality videos of these? I have some from a past toledo show that someone at RC Universe filmed. They put them into a dvd and put the bitorrent up for download. I love just putting it on the tv and letting the videos play while I do other stuff
