Saturday, another day of foamie fun!
Saturday morning and the pilot count is climbing rapidly! Terry Nitsch and the whole JR crew does a really nice job organizing and promoting this event and it shows!
Today promises to be an awesome day! The weather outside is amazing, but then again that doesn't matter, WERE IN A GOLF DOME! HAHAHA The schedule for today includes 3D, scale, jets, micro mustang racing, helicopters and tons more! And I'll get it all! Today expect to see a ton more pictures and videos! I re-booted my OS, and I was having all kinds of issues last night trying to get videos created, and pictures uploaded, thanks yesterday to Jason Miracle who let me use his net book to get the shots up! But it seems like everything is in order, and it seems like the only problems were self created. HAHA. Ok.. off to take pictures! AND PLEASE REMEMBER We want to give a big thanks to http://www.castlecreations.com/ for sponsoring the coverage this year. Castle has always been a great supporter of FLYINGGIANTSs.com and the hobby in general.

Re: Saturday, another day of foamie fun!
If everyone would, keep Seth Arnold in your prayers at this time. Just recieved a phone call from Tom, he is in route to the hospital where Seth has been taken from the JR Indoor, there was an accident involving a helicopter that struck Seth as Tom told me, thats all I know at this time. Tom said he would call me when he reaches the hospital and finds out more.

Re: Saturday, another day of foamie fun!
I just got information from our Horizon Team manager, Missie Anderson. She's at the hospital with Seth as we speak. A helicopter got caught in the nets at the ceiling of the dome, apparently the pilot throttled down and it dropped from the net towards the floor. It sounds like Seth tries to catch it, from what I understand the blades were not spinning, but as he attempted to catch it he got hit in the mouth by one of the blades. According to Missie the cut is pretty bad and he may need plastic surgery, but he's doing ok and will be ok. Sounds like it was just a freak accident, but I hate to hear about anyone in the hobby getting hurt regardless of how it happens. My thoughts go out to you Seth, feel better dude, hope to hear from you soon. Lee Morey

Re: Saturday, another day of foamie fun!
Ok guys, I am here at the hospital with Seth. HE IS FINE. The helicopter came down and hit him with the spinning blades. He had a hard impact to the mouth. He is undergoing surgery as I type for stitches and some cosmetic work. We were joking with him earlier when we were waiting for the his family to come. He is doing good and will be fine.
