I'm not sure who allowed this to happen, but as I recall, the person that flew a plane into the fire, causing it to vanish and who shall go nameless, was punished with a swift kick to the nads for loss of battery.

Limbo good idea but we can't drop the line below 3 feet, my 40% won't have a chance.

Ok count me in for that! If its gonna be 3ft limbo....do u want me to do it inverted.....then you can expect a "CRASH A SAURUS" from me! LOL. I do expect to have at least one of my airplanes break on me at the huckfest. As i will probably trying to do more showing off than smooth flying. Well we'll see what happens. (Yes all of my flying will be safe!) Snap so what do you think? Limbo? with your 60% hehe. Just kidding. I know you will surprise us all some how! Hope all is well with you! Take Care!

Hi Guys,

Gardner is a GREAT spot for the Huckfest. My RC club (Wachusett Barnstormers) puts on the New England Jet Rally at Gardner airport every year. Runway 18/36 is 3000 ft. of smooth concrete 75 ft. wide with great site lines in all directions. Tons of space for camping and parking. This is gonna be a GREAT Huckfest!!

Attached is info about the 2009 New England Jet Rally. Come on down!!!

Best,

Dave

Agreed about that venue, It's a big area to fly in. I can't wait to see the 60% plane fly, and with over 100 pilots this show will be a big hit!

BTW, thanks for the flyer for the jet rally, I need to see these jets in person this year. I missed going to it each year. I hear from the buzz around the airport's FBO and Commission that the event promoters hand over a significant amount of money to the airport and leave the place cleaner than they found it... The airport loves 'big draw' events.

Airworks, it's still 3 feet but you have to do it knife edge.

Do they have any big spot lights we could use for nighttime foamy/heli flying? Maybe they can be rented if the airport doesn't have any.
