Hey guys this looks like a blast, count me in! Just one quick question, will an AMA membership be required to fly?

Chris,

The answer to your question is yes.

It is an AMA sanctioned event.

So who is interested in the 3D school ??

It is AWESOME !!

Here's an incentive.....if we get enough people our club will fit the bill for Todd and Matt's expenses !!!!

You just need to get here and pay the student fee.

Here's the link for the school info:

http://www.freestyle3d.com/schoolprep.html

Looks like the price has stayed the same at $350.00.

BTW everyone, don't let the "3D Freesyle" in the name fool you.

You don't have to be a 3D flyer to be in the school. If you can hover well and do circuits this school is perfect for you.

The setup day alone is worth the $350.00. To have Todd and Matt go over setup and check out your bird is invaluable. This will easily save you $350.00 in the long run in crash costs.

For those of you that are 3D pilots already, imagine having one of the best pilots in the world next to you giving you pointers and tips on how to improve. This along with you doing those moves you can do on the sim but not on the real thing yet.

Chris,

If you and the misses make it out this year I'll have a SPECIAL mailbox waiting just for you.

In fact that gives me a great idea for a new contest this year

Good to hear there is a chance you'll make it out

Well, we now have 5 people confirmed for the Heli School.

Only 3 spots left!!

If you are interested make sure and get with me because it is first come first serve. We are not asking for money now, so you still have 3 months to save up

Hotels/Motels

Check out the Albuquerque Convention & Visitors Bureau:

http://www.itsatrip.org/lodging/hotels/default.aspx

The closest to the field will be the Balloon Fiesta Listings or the Westside listings - Click on "Sort by Location" and they will be the last few pages.

If you go with the Westside I would recommend the following:

La Quinta Inn & Suites
Hampton Inn & Suites
Comfort Inn West - 5712 Iliff Rd NW - 836-0011 (not listed)
Super-8 - 6030 Iliff Rd NW - 836-5560 (not listed)

Be sure to call at least 3 or 4. It will be a week before our International Balloon Fiesta and some hotels jack up their prices.

Feel free to PM or email me with any questions about specific hotels.

Hope this helps,

-- Dave
