Well my 2008 calander on my computer must be messed up too cause, it shows the 18th, 19th and 20th on Wed thru Fri. also.

The 18th thru the 20th for 2007 is Mon. thru Wed. cause the XFC for 2007 was the 15th thru the 17th wasnt it ?

Dan,

You are absolutely right. The XFC was 15th through the 17th this year. My calendar shows June 18-20, 2008 to be Wed, Thur, Friday as well. Good thing I get an extra week of vacation next year!!

We have it as "tentative" on the site! LOL We want to make sure everybody gets there in time for the pilots meeting. Correct/firm dates will be posted shortly on the XFC site. Stay tuned for new info as well on all the events.

IT'S OFFICIAL.. New XFC dates are confirmed. The Extreme Flight Championships will be held in Muncie Ind. again at the AMA National Flying site. The dates are June 11 -13, 2008. There is more info posted on the XFC site. http://www.futabarc.com/xfc-rc/index.html

Last chance qualifiers!!! If you're interested in competing at the XFC, and have not sent your submission video in, there is still a qualifying day (Thurs) prior to the start of the XFC. We will be accepting 15 pre-invited pilots on both the airplane and heli side. There will be 3 qualifier spots up for grabs on Thurs, making the field of 18. If you're interested in competing at XFC2008, go to the website for more info on video submissions and addresses in which to send.

We look forward to seeing everybody at XFC 2008!!

Frank, Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to covering the event next year. It's great to have an event of this caliber close to home.

mmcconville · 10-17-2007, 05:18 PM

Frank, still planning on the team competitions too? Any details? That could be a lot of fun!

Reza · 10-17-2007, 05:25 PM

Sorry guys, I am a little confused! Aside from the guys who are invited, there are only three spots for the people who send their videos in? So out of all the videos and applicants who are not on the invitation list, only three will be selected. Is that the case?

Thank you,
Reza

Matchless · 10-17-2007, 06:55 PM

Wednesday through Friday.... very interesting..... : )

I might be mistaken, however I believe that the video submission is to determine the invitational list. The other three spots are for those that come to the qualifier day.

Reza · 10-17-2007, 09:13 PM

Thanks Wizard. I think you are correct. What you said makes more sense. What I like about this event is to give everyone a chance to fly free style. I am thinking about this. Only obstacle is I need to take a week off and ship my plane if I get selected. We'll see. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, the team competition should be a blast! It'll be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. We're working on the final details of it, as well as the Night Fly competition now. The night fly competition, along with the fireworks should be great for the family to come and watch!

Hello all,

Any momentum on the outcome of the night and team flying events at the XFC? Also, I noticed the heli maneuvers have been posted. When will the airplane maneuvers be posted? It's getting close!
