Hi Robert,

It is actually "twice" yearly contest. In May every year and again in October. Great times at both! I have been going for over 20 years.

Hi Will,

It is a "definite maybe" for Aaron and me. I still cannot fly, and Aaron had not been able to practice. Hopefully both will change in the next couple weeks.

Bill

Bill,

Good to hear from you, come out and we can get caught up on things , tell Aaron to practice more, he was flying really good in the fall,

Anyone wanting to learn about judging stunt ,or what the judges are looking for, needs to attend our stunt judging clinic on Friday evening at 4 pm

bob whitney · « **Reply #14 on:** April 23, 2013, 04:51:02 PM »

question, can we enter both classic and n-30 if we have a plane for each?? at Huntersville

Will Davis · « **Reply #15 on:** April 23, 2013, 05:00:34 PM »

Bob,

We are having nostalgia 30 only, hopefully in the near future we will have the extra room for a additional circles, We have 4 now, but would like to have paved circles on end of rc runway

then we will consider having both classes, (n 30 and classic )until then we have chosen to run just n30 and not combine the event with classic on one circle

See you in a couple weeks

bob whitney · « **Reply #16 on:** April 23, 2013, 06:41:02 PM »

Ha Ha , i knew that ,thanks just wasnt thinking again

EddyR · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:24:51 PM »

Now I am confuser You just said "until then we have chosen to run just n30 and not combine the event with classic on one circle"
Just n30?? No Classic at all??

Ed

bob whitney · « **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2013, 11:09:54 AM »

N-30 covers everything at least 30 years old so includes all old time and classic
