Chris is going to be there tomorrow (I'm running the freakin' shop again...) and will be trying to run streaming video to the FFT site, live from the Mall Show tomorrow. This is another test of the equipment being tested for installation at the field for live FFT coverage. Those of you on here that can't make it to the mall show, be sure to keep an eye on the www.FlyForTots.com site tomorrow for live video.

Johnny - T-Rex 600 + T-Rex 500

Anyone not on the list feel free to come on over, we have PLENTY of room.

I know the weather forecast looks a little gloomy, but we should also have plenty of tents for the showers.

First wave, we should probably arrive around 8:30 or so, so what's for breakfast ?

Second shift, after 12:30 the farmers market will be over and you will be able to drive up to the display area to unload.

We will have the road blocked until 3:00, later if needed), so we can fly micros and do demos between 12:30 and 3:00.

Looking forward to it, see everyone there !

Jason
I should be there for about 12, got a few errands to run first.

No mention of RDRC or Victory Junction, but at least they got something out there about the show.
Thanks to whoever contacted WRAL!

Jason
Well, we have 2 videos to be playing. The FFT video and the Victory Junction DVD. I will bring one dvd player and TV, but we need another of the same for one of the videos.

I am also bringing a few tables and chairs, drop cords, power strips, etc...

Larry, if we can get together and I can rip the DVD to a file I can use my netbook to play it.

Jason
We cannot rip the DVD. We can only play it in it's original form, DVD, for copyright reasons.

And look at that craftsmanship, the woodwork in that fuse is simply amazing. What kind of artisan could do that work ?
