I vote Ivan and Adam both very good at what they do. Both Seasoned Imac pilots Adam Unlimited, Ivan Advanced. Both have that left stick under control and know how to give the plane what it needs. I truly enjoyed watching several others flying also. I think the Imac training has alot to do with being a great Hucker.
My .02 cents

I also learned a little about how Ivan flies with such control. I watched his fingers and learned something to help me have better controll. Next time you see a great hucker go watch his fingers. Adam is a thumber Ivan holds the sticks with 3 fingers most of the time. (2 on the left always and one on the right most of the time. You have to watch to learn. I have used what I learned from Ivan on the sim this week and can see a improvement in my own flying. I used to be a thumber years ago.
Adam has awsome control for a thumber and can fly very precisely.
Adam also has lightining like reflexes wich helps him stay ahead of the plane.
I think it has to do with youth.

Nice meeting you guys this weekend!

Many of the heli guys, including me, fly same way and though I fly most of my fixed wing stuff with thumbs I've found myself pinching the sticks on the Yak when down low to have better control.

Hey Dudes!

Update: I am trying to nail down details with Triple Creek (Tampa) and a get together at Prop Busters in Lakeland.

I have been in contact with the Club Pres. at TCRC and he is trying to get special permission to have a 2 day event in June. TCRC has a no overnight camping rule. If they cannot, it will be a one day event on April 5th. If we get the thumbs up on overnight camping, then it will be June and it will be a Big Event! June would give us time to round up sponsors and plan for a Big Party! Triple Creek RC Extreme 3D Fly-in!

Matt Thomas, our young FFAA member at Prop Busters is trying to get the FFAA over there. IT will most likely be a get together for the FFAA gang. Matt Call Me!

Also, I am trying to organize a get together at Sanford (Central Florida Sport Flyers Field- we met ther before). It will be the last get together for us before Joe Nall!

What I want to know is, HOW MANY FFAA GUYS ARE COMING TO JOE NALL! This Joe Nal 2009 is going to be one for the record books. With the advent of the 2nd 3D flight line, you can bet ther will be alot of action there! I am going to be there Sunday before, Helping out with Extreme Flight RC and Team Extreme w/ Chris Hinson. Extreme Flight RC will set up Base Camp down by the 2nd Flight Line!!!! It would be cool if the FFAA guys can show up in force. I will get special Joe Nall / FFAA shirts for us is every body is willing to pay cost for them. FFAA now has clout with the Giant Scale RC world withthe successes of FX3D!

Keep on Huckin my fellow Huckers!

Hello Rennie, Since you mention the Sanford club, Did you ever find out about the applications we (Donnie and I) submited a while back? , Still we have received no response. And yes luis Jr and I will be at Joe Nall.
