Here are the rest of the still pics I shot Saturday.

Aerial Video from the Fly-In. This is raw footage -- and the sound is on (so wind noise and motor noise will be irritating) -- be sure to turn your sound off when the flight starts!

Nice vid's Guy! I did'nt realize that the airport had all that space, and all of those runways. On the first video, I'm flying my Tensor.

Thanks Brett. On the full sized (uncompressed) video, you can really see you and your Tensor. I tried to get close enough to see it, without getting TOO close.

Here are some more pictures I took during the event.

We are wanting to get the date for the NEXT fly in set. So any suggestions? I need to take a look at a 2010 calender. But So far I am still thinking a Friday and Saturday. I want to make sure I do not set a date that conflicts with anything else.

So SPEAK UP people!
Here is what I am considering September 10th Friday for arrivals and open flying. 11th Saturday for competitions and some open flying. Then Sunday if there is enough people some more competitions and open flying.

I know that is 3 days total. But Saturday would still be the main day. Friday would allow for some practice and meet and greet. Maybe a cook out?

I like the idea of setting it up a year in advance -- thank you for your insight!

However, I would not be able to make it on Friday. Saturday would be my only day to attend. That being said, I hope there's lots of open flying on Saturday!

1987tc · 10-31-2009, 03:34 AM

I definitely want to have open flying each day. It give the pilots some fun time with out pressure. And the people watching still get to see flying!

I want to make the next one a much bigger success. That includes more prizes. More give away planes including complete set up.

I also want to have several sport models too. Both kits and arfs.
And not to dream too big. But I want to have lipos,esc and if possible a radio or two as prizes.

I know that is a tall order. But that is my goal!

smokejohnson · 10-31-2009, 04:08 AM

I like the September date...it would work for me.

surfer dude · 10-31-2009, 04:47 AM

Sat. would also be the only day that I could attend, but I wouldn't miss it for the world. Meeting everyone, the food, the events, it was all great!
I like the Idea of more raffle prizes.

All of the Tulsa guys really cleaned up on the give-aways. Thanks Wes.
I think we need to schedual combat every hour, on the hour. It only takes 5-6 min. each time. We could also do other events, like inverted limbo, most loop and touch and go's in 2 min. lowest knife edge ect.

j4ck4 · 10-31-2009, 05:07 AM

Sept sounds okay to me.

Rabbitcreekok · 10-31-2009, 05:08 AM

That date sounds OK for me also. Who knows what the year will bring, but with the date set, we can all plan around that weekend.

1987tc · 10-31-2009, 05:15 AM

That was my thinking too. More time to plan means less last minute scrambling and better results.

Lieutenant Loughead · 10-31-2009, 05:44 AM

LOL -- I could win "most consecutive loops" or "most consecutive outside loops"... I've actually been practicing those every day for the last 500 days, and have determined I can loop indefinitely...

Ah but can you do it with an airplane?

Hey men. If you haven't already you better run over here and drop your name in the hat.

It's a kalteisen like they sent you gonna give it away the 2nd I believe.

Lieutenant Loughead · 10-31-2009, 07:55 PM

I would drop my name in that hat if it weren't on RCGroups. About 3 years ago, I vowed to NEVER return -- and to date, I haven't.

GymalloGuy · 11-07-2009, 07:23 PM

We have quite a few avid e-flyers in our area and several AMA clubs with fields. We have installed a PetroMat runway at our field just south of Fairland, OK to help accomodate e-flyers. We sure don't want to miss out on the 2010 fly at Holdenville! Keep us posted - - Bob A.

We would be glad to have as many of your group as can make it!
