Thanks for the reminder Jon. I need to add a label to the new P-38. After reading about the FAA stopping by Apollo recently, I figured I better get everything labeled properly. ;)

Our FAA inspector is very nice. He's interested in flying RC himself. But still, it should go without saying that at an AMA field, you'll need your FAA number inside your planes. Good call, guys.
For those wanting to do the swap meet, I'll reiterate the most sellers/buyers come early. I plan to be fully set up at 7am. So you're leaving Long Beach at 5:45, Pat! I have a camper van and you're welcome to nap inside it at some point to get through the day, ha! We're flying till 7:30pm.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

C'mon Skywolf....I am flying in to Ontairio Airport Thurs night and grabbing a rental car. It was alot cheaper than flying into LAX. Little over an hour to the field and your there. I am flying back out Sun morning just in time to be back to work Mon morning. Piece o cake!!! If you decide to come, your wife will quit being mad at you in an hour, your credit card will recover in a year, but the memories will last you a lifetime!!! I am just kidding, my wife is still mad at me..Lol. Actually I think she wants me out of the house. Win...Win

I shall also be at the Pizza Fly In on the Saturday, I'm planning on driving down on early on Saturday morning. Unfortunately I can't be there on Sunday. I'm planning on bring my FMS Olympus, TechOne Yak 55 and a Dynam Meteor.
I'm really looking forward to meeting many of you I speak to on the phone each day. I'll be there to answer any questions you may have about our products and generally enjoy the day.

Yep...Evelyn and I are committed to attending Saturday and Sunday. We toughed out the rain at CV, so we're experienced. ;)
I'll also be there tomorrow to maiden my F-14 and fly with a few of the Apollo Warbird guys.
Bob and Tsukai from NorCal are also committed both days.
See you guys in a few days! :)

It's quite funny, really, this past Sunday Tony and I were flying at Apollo and the weather was PERFECT. Today it's quite literally perfect also. How funny the weather is, that it's showing some risk of rain on Saturday afternoon. I'm 100% committed, as are Addison, Martin, Sam, Brian, and several others. Not to jinx it, but the last time the forecast called for 50% rain it was overcast all day but not one actual drop. I'll bring an EZ-Up just in case.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hopefully the weather plays nice. Forecasts are always interesting because weather is hard to predict and changes on quickly.
There is also a TFR beginning Thursday evening and lasts through Friday afternoon, but that is subject to change as always. Hopefully it will not effect the weekend though.

It is very interesting that the FAA differentiates between Model Aircraft and UAS(unmanned aircraft systems) in this NOTAM TFR under para C of the Operating Restrictions. Whereas we ALL are presently lumped into that UAS category by the latest ruling, could this be an indicator of possible relief for the future?? Keep contacting your elected officials to do the correct thing for the future of this hobby!!!!
C. The following operations are not authorized within this TFR: flight training, practice instrument approaches, aerobatic flight, glider operations, seaplane operations, parachute operations, ultralight, hang gliding, balloon operations, agriculture/crop dusting, animal population control flight operations, banner towing operations, sightseeing operations, maintenance test flights, model aircraft operations, model rocketry, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and utility and pipeline survey operations.
