Is this event until 1500 or are you going to extended it. A lot of people need to know before they make a drive out there for a couple of hours worth of flying. I have asked this before, and event organizer has not replied.

Event Times

Hello, all. The 3PM time was a time to give out awards as it is a time when many people start packing up. Pilots are welcome to fly until sunset. We can delay the awards until later if things are still going strong, which I hope happens. We have some nice little trophies so come get em!
We need to get the auto contest pot big also

WE HAVE THE RUNWAY ALL DAY. NO FIXED WING!

Regards,
Kip

It's basically all open flying except for the auto contest at 1PM. The $10 registration fee pays for the trophies and setup supplies. Any extra will be deposited into the Club account which goes for field maintenance. Lunch will be included in this fee and you'll be given a coupon at registration. Also, you will be give two ballots, one for "Pilot's Choice" heli and one for "Best 3D Pilot". The ballots will be tallied later in the day for the trophy winners. The pilots choice awards goes to the all around heli whether it's worth $50 or $2000, scale, whatever. It's just whatever the pilots like. The best 3D pilot goes to whomever the other pilot's think is the best based on his/her flying. All pilots will have a number and voters will simply note the number of the pilot and write it on the ballot. The third trophy is for best crash. The 4 staff pilots will decide this you so if you burn in good make sure we see it.

Thanks!

Thanks to all registered pilots today for making the drive and flying safely.
The trophy winners were...
-"Best 3D Pilot"...Matt Botos.
Evan Richey and Art Hughes followed with only one vote
separating each. Everyone had some grass punishing
moments.
-"Pilot's Choice Heli"...Steven Poretz.
Steve had his vintage 30+ year old model and his super
slow headspeed ship that had everyone talking.
-"Best Crash"...Joe Polidore. He suffered an electrical cutoff
type failure that resulted in the hardest ground shaking hit
all day. We had a couple of runway hits but Joe's was the
grandest. Sorry and congrats at the same time.

Harlan McCullough took the auto contest pot with a combined distance of 22 inches for two autos. He must have been having a bad day

Post pics if you have em...
