Only problem is when you go to a level field you just gotta remember you dont have a 20-30 foot drop on the other side! lol. Cant wait for this club to host another event there. Again thanks Kirby, Ryan, Chris, Jose and the whole Apopka club for hosting this event!
Ditto on all that. A little carnage, kickass flying and 12 planes-a-hucking at once.

I had a great time this weekend! Thanks to the RCACF crew for an awesome event. I'll see if I have any footage worth editing and posting. Saturday was too much fun to spend it under the camera!

Had fun this weekend, hoping I'm in town for next years. Now I'm sitting in seat 27A at 35,000' somewhere over Texas.

Ok guys, here's the details of the final tally. We raised just a tad over $1800.00 with food, entry fees, pilot raffle tickets and the major generosity of one of the sponsors.

I won't mention his name, because I'm not sure if he wants it to be known. He purchased a large dollar chunk of raffle tickets for the planes that were being raffled. When the time came to draw for the raffle, as our luck would have it, his name was pulled. Not once, but twice in a row!!!

This gentleman then immediately spoke up and said he wanted to donate the prizes BACK!! So an auction was held on the two planes he won. An approximate additional $400.00 was raised on this alone!!!! Thank you!

The money raised from this event was for a VERY worthy cause. A donation is being made with plaque to "The Wounded Warrior Project". We could't think of a better charity, especially considering it was a Memorial Day Weekend event. We give thanks to those who have served and are serving so we could be home to play with our toy airplanes.

The following comanies donated prizes. Everyone in attendance went home with something. Again, a big thank you to all who helped make this a success!!!

On Saturday afternoon, we had an all up huck. We were trying to break the number set by our friends in Jacksonville at FX3D. I'm told they had 17 planes a huckin' all at once. We were able to confirm 12 a huckin' all at once.

Plenty of food was eaten, plenty of flyin' was done, and plenty of hangin' with our old and new friends was done along with plenty of beverage consumin'.

We look forward to seeing everyone again for the next round of Huckin' in Orlando!
