The Southern Radio Control Flyers of Ft. Rucker, AL (Home of ARMY Aviation) are hosting a Fly-In at Toth Army airfield on April 13-14, in memory of Billy Pearce.

This is an open invitation to come out and enjoy the hobby with us. We have no sponsors as it's not allowed on Government installation but if donations are given we will have a system in place for door prize give-a-ways to registered flyers. AMA Membership required. $10 landing fee per day including lunch meal. Gates open 9:00am 13th till dusk and again 9:00 am till 3:00pm on the 14th.

Any chest pounding grudge matches will be allowed and organized on the spot.

This is a LARGE Flying airfield used in training full-scale heli pilots. (see Pic) There will be a separate hovering only area available.
We can safely handle 4 or 5 flyers on each of the two active runways.

There will be a Large Trailer type BBQ grill on site and a multi-sex port-a-potty. (Not like a twin )

If you can please confirm at this email addy ;

In Memory of a Great Friend

I was stationed at Ft. (Mother) Rucker for six years as a pilot. What a great place! During that time I got into RC Helicopters and a great man named Billy Pearce helped me out. I am glad to see that he will not be forgotten!
I wish I could be there, maybe next year? I will try to find some pictures of Billy flying and send them.

This weekend, folks!

If all goes well, I'll sacrifice an airplane to the Heli Gods. I've got an old beat-down Bright Star (a.k.a. "Death Star") airplane with a junk engine and crap AM radio in which I plan to dive into the asphalt

There should be some good heli action here.....this field is HUGE and has multiple paved runways. Lotsa room to play.

He's not kidding about the sacrifice. I soldered the sacrificial battery pack for it today!

Bring your VIDEO cameras.

Were tring to decide on the angle of trajectory into the runway for the best parts displacement.

The plan right now is after we give the Door Prizes, the plank CRASHES.

BTW ...... The event is still on even though the weatherman say's it might rain Sat and not Sunday. (I don't trust him too much)
We will fly when we can, if it does rain and we'll start earlier and stay longer on Sunday to make up for any rain.

So far the door prizes are...... some Cool Power 30% and some Raptor parts.

Thanks
