ALCON:

I just wanted to remind everyone about the 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Heli Classic, 10-11 March 2007. Ref Post: Tampa Contest and 2nd Annual Tampa Bay Heli Classic

AMA Sanction number is 07-0134 for AMA class I, II, III and FAI Schedule A/B

This year’s entry fee is $35.

The new venue for this year’s contest is at the Can-Am Flyers (http://www.can-amflyers.org) field off I-75. This field does allow for Camping/overnight parking, but there are no hookups. Bring your tents and tables if you can. There is a shaded eating area, but covered pit space is nonexistent. The field is orientated East/West, with a north facing line, so the sun will be at our backs until late afternoon.

Last year we had 13 entries! Let’s see if we can keep it up, or better yet, beat that number!

Please RSVP your intentions to compete at ejfreymann@verizon.net or call me at 813-926-8552. I’m also looking for volunteers for judging, as I would like to minimize contestant judging as we did last year. If interested in acting as a seated judge, your lunch and drinks are free for the entire contest.

Hope to see you all there for the season opening contest of 2007!

Cheers,

Event flyer attached.

Note we have added a non-rulebook funfly event, in addition to the AMA/FAI contest!

We have something for everyone, now!

Hope to see you there!

Little update:

I attended the Can-Am Flyers' club meeting this morning, and everything is on track for the contest and funfly.

Near the end of the discussion, it was motioned, seconded, and Passed, that ALL PROFIT from the event will be donated to the US F3C World Championships Team for 2007!

So, please come out and help support the US team in the Worlds this year in Poland!


See you there,

Erich

I just wanted to point out that Tim Diperi, a fellow contest pilot, has written an article for Rotorworld Magazine, a UK publication, on the Tampa Bay Heli Classic Contest and Funfly. The article appears in the current Jun/Jul edition of Rotorworld.

Many thanks to Tim for putting forth the effort on reporting about the contest.
