AMA NEFI Event June 10- 12

[Guest]

I could possibly make it to Muncie but I would need to know when everyone is planning on meeting up that way I can plan time off from work, where I work at takes at least a month in advance notice on time off. I have never been to the AMA headquarters and would like to punch a few holes in the sky with my planes. I think I can get at least 3 planes in my Ford Ranger along with some luggage. From here in Tennessee it would be a 7-8 hour drive for me but I think it would be worth it to meet up with everyone here on the Squawk!

It sounds like there may be a couple or few headed that way in June, possibly. I too would need a good date to work with when I know I could make plans to go. I can't go in June because I'll be on a cruise.

But if anyone wants to plan for mid to late summer that would be awesome!

Okay guys, I' ve got in touch with Ryan R and he's checking his schedule. I'm thinking Muncie AMA HQ if he's available. If not maybe somewhere in Lon's neighborhood, if not his field, what say you ?
I'd like to get a feel for how many of you could make a fly in on the weekend of June 11-12 in the area of Illinois or Indiana. Feedback on where would be good as well.
I know there's a lot of you that are going to have scheduling conflicts, but if we can break the ice with this one, we can start planning the next one earlier, Let's break the inertia and start having some get-to-gethers!!!

I'm game for Muncie...But, if my club field in Dubuque Iowa would work better. I'll lock up reservations for our field there.
Here's a video of our field from last year when flying my Iron Ass.

[Grossman56]

Great Lon, one way or another, this is going to happen, even if its the two of us!!
How about it guys!

Nicely done Lon! Unlike mine, yours seems to be properly balanced...

[Grossman56]

Lon is my go to guy when it comes to Freewing P51's.
After chopping his finger, its like the plane was sorry and has behaved herself wonderfully afterwards!
Now, the interesting thing is that Lon has put an 85A Mantis ESC on his stock motor. When I went to do this, the bullet plugs were a different size!?
I ended up putting a 650kv in Old Crow with a FMS 70A ESC and taking the stock motor and ESC from Old Crow and putting it into Shangrila. In BBD, I have an FMS 580 and a 85A Mantis ESC and they have the same bullet size. Did something change somewhere along the line with the FW P51 motor??

As I mentioned before, I'd love to be there, but I'll be on a cruise until the 15th. If only this would happen one or two weeks later:dodgy:.

I'm serious with planning to attend. What/where's the flying field at??

[Grossman56]

This is a great event. I've been to nearly everyone. Best part is its at one of the best flying sites in the world, AMA headquarters. Overnight camping, Rv hookups, electricity, bathrooms, showers, food and hotels close by. The comraderie goes late into the evening. Bring your boots the hanger talk can get pretty thick...lol

It's a great time! June 10-12 I look forward to going every year. I'd sure love to meet some of you who can make it.

More later
Regards
Ryan

[Lon]

Looks like a great event to attend and fly.

[Grossman56]

You betcha, and the field looks awesome. Time for you new P 38 drivers to show them off.
Now my big question is what planes to bring!
The Pitts is coming and I'm thinking of pulling the wings off the P40 and Old Crow. See if I can get them plus all the flight paraphernalia as well as luggage into the truck.

Getting in touch with Ryan by phone, we'll get back to you!
Hopefully more will get on board
