Matt turned 12 last week. If I can pry him away from his mother he will be bringing a Funtana X50 & a 60 size Twist. Suitably overpoweed of course.

Larry also forgot to mention that a 1/2 hour helicopter ride in a Robinson R44 is also included in the items to be raffled. This is a package valued over $245 for up to 3 people or 450lbs... whichever comes up first

Bring those $$$ folks... these raffles are going to be the best bar none.

Remember this is all for charity...

Also, if you don't win the helicopter trip, you will still have a chance to go for a ride. We will also be giving helicopter rides on Sunday for a nonimal fee with proceeds going straight to the Smiles for Little Faces organizaiton.

People who were too far away to make this event have been asking about buying raffle tickets to support the upcoming RDRC Fly-In Fundraiser. I just finished building and testing the aux. shopping cart files on my business server for this. All is well...a person can find the link to buy raffle tickets for our upcoming event online in the following locations at www.rd-rc.org :

- In the [Club Stuff] section of the LH menu, labeled as "- Buy Tickets"

- On the main page (large window that first opens at www.rd-rc.org) in the link: Sept. 23-24 -> Buy Tickets

- On the event info page at: http://www.scootworks.com/rdrc/events/rcevents.html
This page is accessed from the main window or from the "- RDRC Events" in the LH menu.

One can buy these via PayPal, Visa, MC, AmEx, or Discover. Shopping is via 128-bit secure encription. We are providing free mailing of the tickets to purchasers.

Hey Jon
Actually, Josh Bunn has started experimenting with some video the last few days. He has a couple of good one on his web site now.
But we didnt stop there. We have a professional coming in to do a 3 or 4 minute video to put up on our web site, as well as the FG site. He owns the company "Higher Planes", and has some AWESOME videos out now done for several companies. Check out some of his work at http://higherplaneproductions.com/
Reeeeeeeeeeeally good stuff.

Just think, by sending in your $5 (or more, of course) to help the children of "Smiles for Little Faces", you are also giving yourself an opportunity to win one of MANY big prizes provided by our gracious sponsors. Get your tickets now!

And we all need to support the businesses who support these causes for us, too!

Thanks again to all our sponsors......

Call'n Out The Foamie Flyers! We just bought a couple of those Bajillion watt candle power spot lights to play with at night. When the faomie guys finish with them, we'll go bird blind'n in the barns LOL Also, we have installed some spot lights on the pavilion to shine out toward the runway. We dont plan on stopping just because Da Sun Go Down!

It looks like we have more! Quique's Aircraft Co. has just donated a 73" Yak ARF to the prize list (thanks Quique and Wayne!).

I'd say the odds of you winning something BIG are getting better and better so make sure you get your ticket order in!
