get there and enjoy! they are great pick me ups after the conclusion of the nall each year!
Sweet that sounds like a lot of fun! So even though im pretty close, do we camp out or what??? I have seen videos of some people having lots of fun at night!!!!

Kevin, your in for the best flying weekend of your life!
you are going to LOVE every minute of it, no doubt. Bring all the planes that you have,
even the foam! I'm not sure if there will be a size requirement or not...
it used to be that your plane had to be at least an 80" wingspan to fly, but last year
there were smaller planes buzzing around too, so the rules may have changed.
dont quote me on that though. maybe someone with a little more solid info could step up?
and about the camping, i'm only about 40 min from orchard farm, but i still camp out
because I dont like to drive after i've.........well.....you know....."partaken in my cold
beverage of choice....." yeah, that sounds good....;-)

Motor Home? Shoot all you need is a Suburban, house window AC unit, and a generator. Put window unit in the window of the Burb, and bingo you have a redneck motor home. For some reason this reminds me of something from last year.

I think last year there was a 1/4 scale minimum until something like 4pm'ish'. Not sure if that is going to be in effect again or not. Even if it is there is still lots of sky left after 4....

This year (if its still alive) I'm going to bring my beat up EF profile edge and try and break it in the air....should be fun.

yes we will!!!!! man, this thing is beautiful... the bummer is... now i wish i would've gotten dad the 50center instead! this one is lookin' small to me already!!!!! LOL...

bill hempel's new arfs sure are impressive. there are litteraly ZERO complaints we have about this airframe. it is covered flawlessly and the construction is A1! my dad is a pro quality builder and he is VERY picky about arfs and this one has passed with flying colors!

we'll be letting her eat the st. lewy sky at orchard farms for sure! see you then!
