Santa's Turkey Gathering (Everyone Welcome)

[BobbySmith]

Man i hope it is warm because these lipos dont like the cold!!!!!

[ErichF]

Keep em in yer pants!

Seriously, when we were flying the electric UAVs in the winter, we put the packs up on the dashboard, with the heater on full blast...man those LiPos loved it! We'd get summer time endurance in 20 degree weather.

Rodney, it's about a 2.5 hour drive from here. No biggy though...I think poor Bobby has the long haul.

[Hotwings]

mike, you can get a room in Sebring, about 15 miles from the site, Google hotels in Sebring. it's the closest town, Ron

[Foxden]

Mike it takes 3 hours to get anywhere in FL :wink:

I don't know how many times I've done day trips to Melbourne or Miami for work.

[Mike Fortin]

Holy Moly..I just checked some rates in Sebring and it's over $100 a night!

I guess I'll be driving!

[ErichF]

I am driving from Odessa, to S tampa, then to Avon Park twice a week now.

Wuss.

[SteveL]

Mike the way you drive it should be a 1 hr trip. I just need to ride with Ron and have an explorer pass us pulling a trailer :mrgreen:

[rcingcrazy]

I`m just north of sebring...and we can leave
to the field early in the morning

[Mike Fortin]

Thanks for the offer, not sure how the plans are coming along just yet but I'll let you know.

Thanks! :wink:

[gwright]

but planks are fun for us old farts <G>,.. and you don't have to take cover as often from the current generation heli stick-bangers

If we go for Melbourne someone should look up Gary Wright and see if we can get him there....he needs to quit playing with the planks so much anyway...lol

[Rodney]

Come on down Gary. Havent seen you fly in a long time. Would really set these stick bangers in there place.

[BigVanVader]

lol....good to see your still alive Gary.....yeah you should come on down....im sure nobody would even mind if you brought an E3D with ya(i wont mind ,if i can fly it...lol)....we would love to have you join us.

[gwright]

yes, I'm still around. Actually flew a heli again last weekend (not mine), so that makes something like four or 5 helicopter flights in 2006 <G>

hmm,.. 2 hour drive to a heli event, and I don't have a heli now. I think I'll pass.
