AMA NEFI Event June 10- 12

[ryramZ]

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

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:.

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??

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

[Grossman56]

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

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]

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!!!

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!

[Sky Wolf]

I've watched every video of Joe Nall for the past 3 years and I get jaw-drop every time. I'd love to be up close with all those great planes and pilots. My largest plane is the Carbon Z Cub and the Hangar 9 Taylorcraft. But the planes at Joe Nall are absolutely incredible. I do hope I get to make it this year.
Do you and your buddies camp out, have an RV, or rent a motel room?

[Dewey H Lee]

Hey sky wolf .
All I can say my friend you will not regret it. It is off the hook. So much there to see and do. My first day is like being in a trance. Wall to wall planes vendors you always wanted to see and talk to. Keep in touch and we will definitely catch up down there. Last year there was six of us from my club.

[martmichals]

I for one, think that an event for the members of Hobbysquawk is a great idea. I would definitely show up in order to get to know some of the people on the forum here. I'm Northwest of Chicago, so Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois are all good for me. June is a good time for a fly-in as well.

[Sky Wolf]

Dewey, I'm really hoping to make it there this year. I've never been before. Tried to go last year but the work schedule didn't allow. It's a real drive for me from Irving, Texas, but I'm willing to make it. Will definitely stay in touch to let you know if going.

[Pauly]

Wayne, the Joe Nall event would be a great place to meet up. A forum for events would be a great idea I think. I know the club I'm in has a annual fly-in coming up April 16 in Kinston, NC. You can access our website by visiting www.coastalplanes.com and click the events tab. Theres a lot of helpful things to use on this website.

[Dewey H Lee]

Hey sky wolf
Definitely be at Joe Nall this year. Being in nc it's just a hop skip and jump south. Maybe we'll see ya there.

[Sky Wolf]

Go for it Grossman! I'm off that week too, but will be in the Caribbean. I'll do some video from the Phantom Vision 2+, which came from MRC when they tried to carry the line. I wonder if they have a sign or a banner I can take with me to get some crafty shots with?

[Sky Wolf]

Wayne, do you know when the next AMA Hdqtrs event may be? And, is anyone planning to attend Joe Nall this year?
