I'm a noob and I'll be there!!!
Anyone wanna look over my setup while I'm down there (500/DX7/401)? I should be there Sat morning with a 10'x10' with a canopyfx banner hanging up.
What time does the flight line open?

...What time does the flight line open?
ZNormally, the pilot meeting occurs at 10:AM. The radio tent should open right after the pilot meeting.
I've flown my 450 early before but, I'm a club member. I got the evil eye for doing it but, hey, I'm there to have fun, flying is fun. The flight line gets busy just before lunch and most of the afternoon. There is an area for hovering so, you can do that most of the day.
The campers don't want too much noise early because many of them partied late into Friday night.
There will be lots of people around to check over your heli. Just walk along the pits and look for someone not busy and, that you like the looks of.

We usually have 3-4 vendors, I don't want to get in trouble and say who they are on here, but one is from PA, one is from NH I think.

Get in trouble for listing the vendors who are coming to your event? It would probably help the vendors if people know who is coming to the event before hand.... :DOH

There will be vendors! But, sure as heck, if I list the ones who said they will show, they won't. And, hard to believe, a lot of vendors are not no HF or RR, and I don't know who will show up until they show up!
Flight Line: The flight line will be open by 0900 each day, earlier Saturday if we can get our act together! 2.4 does not need to impound, but you need to have a pilot strap on your wrist. We have the pilots meeting sort of when it seems like the right time, but that does not keep anyone from flying!

Well the wedding I'm in in Rochester New York is on Saturday and depending on how far out of the way it is for me, on my way back to south Carolina on Sunday I might just stop by, sunday afternoon,
Just have to see about crashing at my aunts place, if I can't work it out so that I'll be worth it to come for a few hours.

OK!!! Friday evening we shut down registration with 89 pilots registered! Absolutely awesome flying, and awesome pilots prizes, thanks to tons of vendors supporting our hobby and MHA! Vendors will be posted at www.flymha.com Please support those who support our hobby!
1 Up: It looks like you owe me big time! No rain at all in the forecast. So what if it's 95 degrees??? Take a dip with Dutch.
Registration opens at 0800 Saturday for those coming in late Friday night. 2.4 GHz is not being impounded, 87% of the pilots were on 2.4 G.
450 flying at Rips tonight!
Tomorrow is the Beast/Bobby Watts 450 course. Just don't call them if you need a plumber.... Robin is set for the Agility Challenge, and the infamous MHA Smackdown is 7:00 PM tomorrow night. Where did Bobby Watts start his career????
PLEASE: THE MHA FF is not at my house, and it is not at the MHA club field in Davidsoniville! The FF is at
Patuxent River Park
16000 Croom Airport Road
Upper Marlboro, MD 20772
