Anything on showers and bathrooms for tent campers?
How about a list for campsites that will take tents.

Robinhood, I am going away for few days as soon as I return, I will be back at the town to look into that, there is a state park nearby but not sure what facilities they have.

Is there pre-registration and/or a way to reserve a camping spot.


Finally I get a weekend off that line up with an event, from the sounds of it this should be off the hook.

Steve, yes this will be off the hook, I promise you that, no preregistration or reserving a spot is needed as we have plenty of room for everyone.

... Anyway, do you guys hover over the flames like in the picture of the past post or fly through the flames?... Or is it a 'retired' 40% plane tossed on the bonfire?

Either way, you guys are crazy!... I love it!

No way, we do not hover airplanes over flames, not 60% nor foamies and definitely not at an airport but I can assure you this event will be like no other, the pic you see is was taken at someone's private house, where it's their property and they can do whatever they want.
I will remind everyone that this event is sponsored just like last year by the AMA district 1, thanks Andy, also in attendance just like last year will be the AMA president Dave Mathewson and probably the Executive VP, see you there.

Yo, this is Bob D"Angelo I put on the New England Jet Rally At Gardner Airport a couple people told me to check out this site, That you guys are doing a show at Gardner and I was worried about the RC relationship with the airport. But now that I read the thread, this looks like a cool show. I was just skimed through the thread the first time and I got a little nervous. Someone also said you have a good AMA presence. I hope I will be able to make it to the show.

No problem for me being a pit beotch. I kinda expect to get my hands on the prop of the big Extra. I love starting engines

So if you want to Elie, you can refer to me as your "european pit beotch". I'll be honored

About the hobby shops, sounds very good that I can stop by. I need some 14 ch Futaba receivers for my 14Mz 2.4ghz. I guess there is alot more I'll be needing when I first get into the shop

I don't know who's backyard that was but I can't believe they allow stuff like that to happen, they should be punished too.

Bob, the actual shows are all within AMA regulations, and are much safer than 99% of your basic everyday fly-in's. This is mainly due to the higher skill level of the pilots. As you can imagine, performing 3D with airplanes that range in the $5 - $15,ooo mark would warrant this type of pilot skill. I'm sure you know what were talking about as you fly jets, and one usually does not find beginners flying at a jet ralley.

The action will be high, and the flying will be LOW, but respect for the grounds is on everyone's minds.
I really hope you and perhaps a few of your jet buddies can make it to the show, and hey, perhaps you guys could bring a jet and do a noon time demo, I am confidant that all of the 3D guys love to see a sweet jet flight!

Now after the day of flying is done, and we move off grounds to the venue of choice for the night (a bar, Elie's house, a party center) I hope you guys will again join us.

I can;t wait for the Snap-a-huckfest!
