Default ROCKFORD HUCKFEST IS A GO!

Ok guys, it's that time of year. HUCKFEST SEASON!!!
YEA BABY!
Get the Gas cans filled, batteries charged and get your BUTT to the ROCKFORD HUCKFEST!!!

Once again we will be throwing it down Giants style for 4 days Thursday - Sunday in Rockford, IL.

We have some great prizes to give away from our sponsors, and more importantly we have some great sky to tear up! So grab your rig, grab some gas and head on out!

I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon and will be at the field Thursday Morning to help set up, and get things laid out for the weekend. I have heard from a TON of Giants that will be heading out, so this should be a GREAT start to the Huckfest season.

Also I'd like to take this opportunity to debut my new JTEC RADIOWAVE Extra 330.
Last year at the Ohio Huckfest I had an unfortunate incident with Max's original JTEC. The plane flew great and is huge. These are two qualities I love in a plane. So out of respect to Max and the original FG plane, I vowed to build a new one. I ordered a 3.2 Meter Extra from Al the following Monday, and have been working on it all winter. Since JTEC RADIOWAVE is the main sponsor of the Huckfest series, my intension was to have the new plane ready for the Huckfests, but with the little free time I have available to me, this was just not possible.

BUT, I did manage to finish my modifications to the airframe (purely cosmetic, I like a shorter canopy) and get the plane covered, painted and stickered up, just did not have time to do a proper install of all the equipment.

So allow me to present the NEW official FG Scheme in Orange, and my personal new JTEC RADIOWAVE Extra 330.
(I also have a Yellow FG scheme Airplane in the works.. Muahahahah)

I was still going to try and toss the equipment in and get her ready for the ST louis Huckfest, but the plane is coming out so nice, I really don't want to rush the equipment install and ruin a really nice airplane, so I am going to make the debut deadline Elie's Snap a Huckfest. The new JTEC will be there!

OK.. SEE YOU GUYS IN ROCKFORD!
