Thanks Tony,

Sure would be great to have you and your daughter. Like Ryan and Mike, you guys are MotionRC Rock Stars . Next year we'll make it a two day event. DFW is a nice place in the Fall and Spring. Expecting Chamber of COmmerce weather. We're excited to be able to do this. -Dave

Thanks Dave! We'll try our best to attend next year, work and school schedules permitting. If we do, I'll find a way to detain Alpha for a few days and bring him with. There's a young man waiting on more Lemonade. ;)

And we would be highly honored to have one of the real stars of our hobby join us ! Even though Sunday is open flying, we'll make it a two day event next year.

You guys are doing this for a very worthy cause and is not so much the one day/two day thing as it is that I will just be coming off of eWeek and I am not yet prepared to make the 15 hour drive. Eat an extra burger for me and keep 'em intact. I might want to pick your brain sometime for tips on being a CD. I have been contemplating trying to put something similar together here in my neck of the woods. :Cool:

Thanks, it's really rewarding to see the smiles on their faces. Becoming a CD is not difficult. Need to take a test which is basically an open book. Fill out a form and have 3 AMA members endorse you. I think it's $25.00 . You do get a free AMA membership if you CD 2 events in the year.

In case you're wondering if you can camp out or bring you RV or motor home, we can make that happen. There'a also a public campground ground just a 1/4 mile down the road on Grapevine Lake: http://www.grapevinetexas.gov/Facili...ity/Details/31

Plenty of hotels in the area from Budget to Luxury and everything in between.

If you're planning on attending Warbirds over Grapevine, it would be very helpful to pre-register . This helps us gauge the food needed and it simplifies the raffle. You can use your assigned Pilot number for the raffle tickets.

Calling ALL Pilots!

Come join us for Motion RC's very first run in Texas. They'll be here for the Warbirds over Grapevine fly-in and fundraiser, benefiting Snowball Express, a top-rated organization that supports the children of our fallen heroes. Come spend time with some of the kids who'll be there as well. Put a smile on their faces when they see the FLYING, the FELLOWSHIP, the FUN, and the FOOD!

Motion has has provided several brand new planes to be given away through the raffle for the event, along with new t-shirts, lanyards, ball caps, etc. There will also be discount coupons given away to be used online. How often do you see that?

And joining us us will be our special guests Captain Mike and Pilot Ryan, who are taking time away from family and work to be here in support of this great cause. They are so super-excited about coming to Texas. Come see them in their new cowboy hats, while flying airplanes, and hanging with the Texas Motion RC family and friends.

Your presence is requested. If you're in Texas and the surrounding areas of Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, get on over here to this incredible event. And bring a friend with you! This is a great way to introduce a friend to the hobby!

The actual event is on Saturday, October 7th. But stick around Sunday for some free flying time, and watch the unveiling of Motion's new product(s), and Mike and Ryan flying them for the introduction video.

See you all there!
