[AlaskaRC] Quiet??

[Steve]

MessageHi Rod,

The Water-N-Wheels was really great this year. It was the best it's been in years. I don't know the numbers, but there were alot of people this year. There were a bunch of rc boats racing and just screwin around, float planes (like a giant scale Cub), all kinds of flying "games", free flying of course (no restrictions other than AMA), really really good BBQ's for 3 days in a row (and free), lots of people camped there for nearly the whole week prior, a bunch of prizes raffled off to everyone present, an auction with all kinds of rc stuff (some that is really hard to find now), excellent weather, and just a ton of fun. Tom Risdal and Mike Davis (along with all the people in Fairbanks) have done a great job bringing back this event to the level it was when Ruben Cayton was the CD. I know there's alot of pictures and videos of the entire week because I saw alot of cameras out the whole time I was there. I'm not sure why nothing has been submitted, posted or updated on our fantastic new website, but hopefully there will, in the near future be some pics and video submitted and then posted in the gallery section. Here's a link to a YouTube video of some W-n-W knife-edge games ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4pHUONVkQs&NR=1 ). Let me know if the link doesn't work and if there are more videos out there. 

The Kenai trip should be alot of fun too. Sorry to hear you can't make it. It's the first time the PMA guys have had a summer event out there in a long time, so I hope we can show some support to another local rc club by comming out and having some fun flying, and hangin out with the Peninsula guys. I plan to leave Friday, somewhere between 12 and 5pm and camp there until Sunday afternoon.

Leni - If you read this, could you post some directions to the site for us?  Thanks.

It's not the size, it's how you use it!!!!

Steve

   I have noticed it is kind of quiet on the mail list.  Any results from the Fairbanks event?  I have heard some rumors about some ugly outcomes to some airframes.  Anyone want to elaborate?  Any one get some pictures from Fairbanks?  I was looking at going down to Kenai, but now have to work that weekend.
