2017 EDF Jet Jam Dates

[EDFjetpilot]

The field here is everything I've heard and better...it is the field of dreams for RC aircraft...and I've been to some nice fields. Even better than events held on full scale runways/taxiways...no lights in the way.

As Sam said...just a great day. I spent the first hour doing taxi tests to align my nose wheels on pavement, since it's usually not as critical when flying from my home grass field.

Then put 4 flights on my FW F-86 and 5 flights on my FW A-10. I have 12 Admiral 6S/5000/50C batteries and just couldn't get them charged fast enough (needing them to properly cool first)...and the Jet Jam hasn't even started yet! Definitely looking forward to 4 more days of flying!

Thanks for the kind words.

Day 1 (technically). Overcast all day but helped to keep the heat down. Wind down the runway. A sprinkle rolled in about 3:30 but wasn't enough to get anything wet. Then skies were mostly cloudy.

Can't throw a stick around here without hitting an Avanti...had 4 up at one time today, and I think another 3 were in the pits. The FW A-10 count was up to 5, but one went down on a suspected Rx brownout.

Overall another great day of flying at the RC Field of Dreams!

I had 29 flights overall between my FW A-10, F-16 and F-86 during the Jet Jam. Truly just a great event for us EDF jet pilots...from a great flying site, to great people, and now new friends.

Thank you Bob Belluomini for the time and effort you and your crew put in to make this such an outstanding event!

See ya next year,

Good flight report, EDFjetPilot, 29 flights is fun weekend!

Bob, looks like an amazing event as usual, thanks for posting those photos. Did you catch the first names of the pilots? We'd like to cite them if possible when we cross-post on other platforms. Better than using "Vanna White #1", "Vanna White #2", "Rosie The Riveter #5", etc :D

During the photo line up I counted 31 Motion RC offerings! However there had to be another 20 models under the shelters or in vehicles. Thank you Alpha and Motion RC for supporting this event!

We had 51 registered pilots and four day of fabulous flying weather!
Make plans to attend next year june 14-17
