Looking forward to it!

So I'm guessing that you need a jet to be able to fly there

Nope. Just about anything is good. I think the airport does have a restriction on quads/drones but everything else is fine.

Nice idea and event MRC!:Smug:

It says in the original post "All flying is allowed with Jets - Turbines (Designated flight times), EDFs, Fixed wing and Helicopters."

Fly whatever you have!

Steve,

I am. It's about a 4 hour drive for me, plus I look forward to events where I can fly off pavement. I also figure it'll be a good time hanging around with the Motion RC crew again.

Sean

[RCjetdude]

Cool! It's about 4 for me too. Look forward to seeing you again.

Also look forward to seeing you and the boys again.

Hey Guys, So excited for the Jolly Good Fly-In this weekend! Should be a lot of fun. I will be updating this thread with pics and anyone who is also going it would be great if you could do the same.

I plan on being there Sat. and Sun. I have three planes I plan to fly (1600 mm Corsair, 90 mm F-22 and a 80 mm L-39 camo) with 6 batteries. Since I don't have a generator I'll have limited flying. Seems an event such as this should have electricity so those without generators can keep their batteries charged.
I guess I'll have to use my car battery to charge batteries as needed.
I also planned on sleeping in my tent but will not be able to fill my air mattress which has electric pump to fill it.
Guess I'll just sleep in my van being it will be for only one night.

We will get your air mattress inflated no problem. I have an inverter you can borrow to plug into a cigarette lighter. Works like a champ!

Tom,

You're welcome to plug into my generator for charging. Those big 6S batteries will kill a car battery.

You guys are great. Looking forward to meeting you all.
