Dude, it’s the day before Cedar Creek... I'm down to take the ride if you're down!

dchekas · 05-29-2012, 09:38 PM

BUMP

I have some exciting news.... Our field is having hard wired electricity installed in the next three weeks!

So, no need to bring a generator! (You're welcome to of course if you want!)

Hope to see you all there!

Cant wait

I must say, it's nice to have a club in CT that welcomes helis, especially to the point of having a heli only event.

Not mentioning any specific that don't..

pardon me, bad allergies

MXRACERX43 · 06-22-2012, 10:45 AM

Getting close!

Looking forward to this event! Should be a good time....

Hoping my Whiplash N is in and completed by the eent weekend.

PrivateerConcepts · 07-04-2012, 10:13 AM

OK, I'm new to event flying so bear with me...

There are size restrictions at these things right? A 450 anything... would be "highly discouraged."

All I've seen are some pictures and a few videos - saw the post for this event by accident.
Event details are promised - I saw that. However... there are always unwritten "suggestions" anyone who has been to one of these would know. Things like; It's geared toward really good pilots OR this would be a place you COULD actually get pointers from pros.

Basically... what can someone who hasn't been expect?
