Default HeliHuckin' on a Sunday Afternoon

Article Written by: "Mad" Max Duncan

Hello, my name is MadMax and I am a closet heli addict. Today I would like to introduce you to our new support group - The Orange County Heli Club. Located in the heart of "The OC", OCHC is an amazing group of folks who enjoy this aspect of the hobby unlike any other. Today, FG Staff member "Bulldog" Damian and his club put on an excellent funfly event, and everyone in attendance had smiles from ear to ear! To all our new friends, WELCOME and THANKS for having us! We had an absolute blast today, and look forward to many great times together! Please click the link below for photos and discussion.

Photo flood from today is HERE! Heli photo gallery is HERE!

The OCHC meet today was absotively fantabulous! Though I don't have the official count - this may have been the best turnout ever. I don't know how Damian pulls it off, but his connections came through again - great flying weather.

A lot of great talent showed up - always a pleasure to watch them fly. Also, a lot of great people contributed their time, effort, moeny and energy to make OCHC's one year anniversary event an unparalleled success.

We had electrics and nitro helis, T-Rex, Blades, an awesome scaler and a wireless video Draganflyer there today. There was representation from Flying Giants, Modefo's and RC Heli Magazine among others. Max, glad you could come - hope to see you again. Jeremy, always a pleasure.

If you were able to attend, I hope you'll take the time to express your appreciation to those that made it happen.

I'll start with thanks to Damian who has contributed more to support and grow the hobby than anyone I know. Thanks also to Hector for manning the BBQ and Modefo's for supporting our event.
I'll have pics later.

D,

I forgot to pick one of those fine pieces of SCHWAG you got.... Put an XL aside for me if you would...

Also vids done, just waiting to upload as it is an XL size file, and need maximus to get off his arse, and open up the gates of the upload gods for such a large file.
