Wow! There's a bunch of helifreak tshirts out here and it looks like a good turnout of pilots as well!
Ray, thanks for putting together a great funfly again this year and thanks to all the club members that helped out with the event. Got to meet a few people and watch some great pilots flying over the weekend. Apologies to anyone wearing Helifreak t-shirts as I think i got every one of them on video or camera. People always look freaked out when you have a vid cam :P

WHAT A BLAST!!!
Still can't beleave Curtis, Jeff, AJ, and Malorie all flew and loved my Shogun! Then they signed the blades. I will put up a picture soon. When I started flying it, Curtis came running out and asked to fly MY machine!! I could not say no, as he had let me fly his that day. NO, not the new Vibe (sp), his old school Vigor. Curtis did a mini huricane, and ticktocs! When Jeff got a hold of it, his first takeoff was up to head level, then out backwards inverted. No worries! Malorie just made all the 3d stuff look smooth. AJ Jaffy (age 14) gave the top dogs a run for their money. His stall turns, with a 1/2 roll were the best. No one else did them, and they really looked good.
Kyle Stacy (age 8) beat the snott out of his Raptor. Curtis spotted for him, and would tell Kyle what to do, such as, rainbow, 540 stall turns, all the orentation stuff, inverted, backwards, nose in, what ever! AWSOME
If Kyle and AJ keep it up, there will be a new level to reach, many steps above what we are seeing now, very soon. These 2 "kids" were hard to beleave.
It was great to see the Bergen gang there. Malroie put on a good show and helped a few of us with our Intrepids. I saw 3 Intrepid gassers, 2 46s and then Bergens own machines. I got to fly Malorie's 90! SWEET MACHINE!! It sounded great and felt very solid. The pictures of her canopy do not do it justice. That shape looks great in the air.
Sandy Jaffy flew his OS32 powered Vertol!! He put on a great show, then handed the TX to Curtis. It was the only time I heard Curtis say "I didn't mean to do that". The Vertol is a handfull!!
Greg has his Hotcat out. He was fighting a small vibration, but still got some impressive flights. Man is that thing quiet. you can really hear the blades! COOL!!!!!
I have never seen so many great pilots in the air, with such different styles. Everything from nonstop crazy "out of control" to very impressive smooth 3D. Everyone was open to questions and very helpfull.
There is so much to talk about. Someone take over! My fingers are getting tired
