| End of SaturdayWell, just got home to So Cal. What a long boring drive! The event was great as usual. Alan Sr. an the Las Vegas Club gang ran things smoothly. I saw some of the best flying I have ever seen. That kid from the UK. is amazing. Someone told me they call him the UK Alan jr. I saw Eric Larson fly for the first time. DAMMMNNN!!! His skills were amazing. He did a an AILERON ROLLING circle. Yes, an AILERON ROLLING circle. There were a few times I saw the ants scatter on the runway when Eric came in LOW. We didn't get to see many electrics because of the wind.
One of my friends bought an MX 400 Pro. We all liked it a lot. It flew very stable. We weren't able to really get into the hardcore 3D though.
I was the ONLY one there with a Kyosho Caliber 5. UH OH, now everyone that was there knows who I am ;-) I really like the 5. The person who wrote in the Kyosho forum he switched back to Hirobo sold me his crashed ship, MINOR damage for a hell of a deal $100.00!! I was happy and thankful. Let's just say one the most well known heli pilots in the Vegas area flew a Caliber 5 the other day and RIPPED on it hardcore style. When he was done with he actually said he liked it! I don't know what's going to happen with parts support for my ship but for now I love it. I'm very surprised Kyosho didn't send some representation to one the biggest Fun Fly's on the West Coast. Maybe they will at the AZ Fun Fly.
Only complaint, COLD and WINDY today. I did win the Novice contest for the 2nd year in a row :-) Trust me, it means I can time and count well...LOL Oh, and have some luck.
I do have to say I have never seen so many ALIGN sponsored pilots. Andy represented in a big way. They all had really nice embroidered jackets, not to mention blinged T-Rex's.
I'm tired so off to bed! Thanks Vegas!
