NEFI

How was NEFI this year? I miss that place.

And so the post ends.... Did anyone go to Nefi 2020?? Did it indeed happen?? If so, anyone take any pics??
As an event that is near and dear to my heart, I'd be interested to hear.

Great to hear. We certainly had an awesome setup last time, being right down there on the flight line even though some didn't appreciate it, tough luck considering how far we traveled just to be there.
Great times! Notice that first night pic of Georges RV, the weather always seems to be poor when we get there, but turns out beautiful every time!

I'm gonna miss for the second year in a row cause traveling 600 miles west with a monster rolling hangar out of upstate NY while this epidemic is still on the increase in many states other than NY is not such a safe move.
I can see me being stopped just for the fact of having NYS plates even though they say NAVY Vet on them.
Am really missing the ol' setup I had out there on site 3 but it is what it is. When they finally get a vaccine for the CV-19 then this ol' 5X cancer survivor/Vietnam Era Navy Vet can travel a lot safer

ps......Yes I remember TH#1 very well Dan and I still use it as a day hauler for the bigger birds to local events like TJ's

Hey guys, Just wanted you to know NEFI is on for June 19-21 2020 at AMA!! $15 Landing Fee. Roger Seward and JC Zankel are CD/sponsor. We will have Site 3 (runways) and a small raffle. Working on food truck and drinks.
We are trying to keep it alive!! I will be there. There will also be a special Pilots only raffle (1 free ticket per Pilot). Working on a nice prize.

Geez, that's too bad, Nefi is something special!
It was a long drive for us, some four days to get there, but man it was worth every mile! The first time I swear I could hear the planes giggling with excitement as we pulled into the gate!
then its fly fly fly !!
Getting to meet the guys for the first time was incredibly special as well
And speaking of Toy Haulers, CB is up to Toy Hauler 3 according to my count, remember this one Charlie, Toy Hauler 1??
Of course, speaking of Toy Haulers, it might not be the biggest or best, but I can safely say its the most unique!
In the three times I was lucky enough to attend, I got to meet some of the finest people I know and I still cherish the memories. You never know whats coming up and I've learned never to say never!!
But I'd sure love to do it once more................

Illinois last year raised trailer plate from $18 to $118!! I am waiting for repeal, bill has been lingering since Covid hit to fix it. So I refuse to renew until then as they won't refund it if paid and penalty is only $26 for late/lost...

[speed2004]

Trying to sell some stuff. I really like that new Bronco!

[speed2004]

Yeah, that was too bad about the fire. Glad you were ok. Buddy and I are going to July Fun Fly 24-26th if you are the area.

Well, That sucks that AMA has dropped NEFI and my last one was with busted arm. Some folks in Anderson trying to revive privately then Covid-19 hit. No news yet on possible June 19-21. I retired to fly all the time and 2020 sucks.

Ain't that the truth After missing 2019 due to the inferno that occurred one month after returning from NEFI 2018 was really looking forward to bringing the new and improved Rollin Hanger this year but with a lot less birds however they are bigger in scale stature. I'm starting to make some grandios plans for next year where I'll be on the road for a couple 2-3 months and travel all over the US and visiting some key RC fields

Sorry we didn't have you there Charlie. I had to spot and play the raffle as I broke my arm 3 weeks prior. Wife was sypathetic and drove me over to enjoy the event. 325FGP took home some nice MRC hardware and we sure appreciate the sponsoring and all the demo flights. They had some cool and amazing airframes and really made the event awesome. I will bring the SR Telemaster and SIG Bravo next year when I can fly!

Hey guys I put together a highlight reel from the weekend let me know what you think!

Great video! I can’t wait to see more. For those who were not there you missed a great event it was just a bunch of friends getting together to fly and have a good time. Friday couldn’t have been better sunny and light wind with plenty of opportunity to fly. Jay and all those involved with hosting the event couldn’t have done a better job. Thanks to Motion RC and all the other sponsors for providing a lot of nice raffle prizes.

[Spinny Testaverde]

Nicely done Alex. I like that you incorporated the museum into the whole experience.

Another big thanks for your support at the show Steve! Expect some more videos soon including our full walk around the AMA museum.
