ALCON:

I just wanted to remind everyone about the 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Heli Classic, 10-11 March 2007. Ref Post: Tampa Contest and 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Heli Classic

AMA Sanction number is 07-0134 for AMA class I, II, III and FAI Schedule A/B

This year’s entry fee is $35.

The new venue for this year’s contest is at the Can-Am Flyers (http://www.can-amflyers.org/) field off I-75. This field does allow for Camping/overnight parking, but there are no hookups. Bring your tents and tables if you can. There is a shaded eating area, but covered pit space is nonexistent. The field is orientated East/West, with a north facing line, so the sun will be at our backs until late afternoon.

Last year we had 13 entries! Let’s see if we can keep it up, or better yet, beat that number!

Please RSVP your intentions to compete at ejfreymann@verizon.net or call me at 813-926-8552. I’m also looking for volunteers for judging, as I would like to minimize contestant judging as we did last year. If interested in acting as a seated judge, your lunch and drinks are free for the entire contest.

Hope to see you all there for the season opening contest of 2007!

Cheers,

Erich Freymann

We have decided to donate $10 of each entry fee for the Tampa Contest to the 2007 F3C Worlds Team.

Non-rulebook Funfly Event added!!

We have also decided to add another flightline and host a non-rulebook funfly event in conjunction with the Tampa Bay Classic heli contest.

The two lines will be back to back, with no airspace conflicts. Landing fee for funfly participants will be $25, and a donation to the US F3C World Championship Team will be optional.

Camping and overnight parking are allowed at the field (no hookups).

So, no matter what floats your boat, if Helis are your thing, the 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Heli Classic has something for you.

Questions, Comments, or Concerns?

What happen to Bay City

I'd rather make a few bucks for a small club that would appreciate the effort.

Plus, the field at Bay City wouldn't support a contest/funfly hybrid event as well as the field at Can-Am.

Can you count you in?

Little update:

I attended the Can-Am Flyers' club meeting this morning, and everything is on track for the contest and funfly.

Near the end of the discussion, it was motioned, seconded, and Passed, that ALL PROFIT from the event will be donated to the US F3C World Championships Team for 2007!

So, please come out and help support the US team in the Worlds this year in Poland!


See you there,

Erich
