The event went off pretty well.There seemed to be a low pilot turnout Saturday and only 1 vendor there selling parts.The rain started to fall around 3pm and stopped about 6pm.

Met a bunch of real nice people and had a chance to watch Andrew Jesky chop it up with the new Align 700.For a plane pilot that kid can sure fly a heli,and a real nice person to boot !
Also had a chance to see Nick Maxwell fly a few helis one of them being the new MA Bandit 50...
Man can that kid fly .

All in all it was a great effort put forth by the crew from the Weak Signals who hosted the event,what a nice field and facility !.....And Hirobo and for there planning and effort they put into the event.For the mystery prize they gave away a certificate for a new 90 size helis they will be coming out with in the next few months.

It was a fun event and worth the drive. Food was good. Considering the gas prices today, I'm not surprised at the turnout. There were about 60 registered pilots by Saturday. Amazing flying from hardcore 3D pilots such as Nick Maxwell, Andrew Jesky, and Alex Rodriguez. These guys are bumping up the flying level every year.
