Title: Heli Extravaganza 2015
Post by: cml001 on August 23, 2015, 01:14:33 PM
So Heli Extravaganza is a month out at the beautiful Triple Tree... Kinda excited! Who all shall attend? I think it would be great to finally meet some of you fellas who I chat with & that have helped me along. It'll be my 3rd fun fly... 1st "Heli" fun fly. Will the grounds be as full as Joe Nall was? How large of an event is this one.. Don't know what to expect really... Joe Nall blew me away.

Awesome Chris! Even tho I've only been Triple Tree once.. I can tell u it's gorgeous! Big'ole fields, lush green, ponds, etc... The grounds are unreal.. It was described to me as the Augusta National (The Masters golf tournament's course) of airports.. And they were right.. It is that awesome. As far as the event goes.. Everyone I know that has been says it's so lay'd back and fun.. Yeah, I can't wait either! U get the first Coors outta the cooler bruh!

Last weekend of Sept in Woodruff SC's Triple Tree Aerodrome... It's a grass airfield.. The owners are really into RC as well and host several events thruout year.. Probably most notably the "Joe Nall" event.  You can do  YouTube  search and see a good bit of it and what it's all about... Here's a link to their site.

Extravaganza has become a very popular event. It's at a great venue and is always pretty laid back. I plan on arriving Wednesday night with the camper.

Cheers

Would like to go if I can get time off. How's the terrain around there is it hilly. Trying to decide if I should pull my trailer or go light?

Use the trailer... It's pretty flat as the south goes, shouldn't be a problem at all.. Wish I had one!

So when that say no arrivals before the 24th can you camp on the 23rd? Or do we need a hotel for Wednesday?

Well by the time I get there after working all day it will probably be 1am anyway. So technically it would be the 24th. I will check on that Barry.

Well, I have the time off!!! It's approved I can go!

However life is creeping up again and most likely will have to pass this time. I cut back on my work load this year to spend more time with my family and flying. LOL

My father is having some driving issues/getting older. And has been pulled over and crashed both cars in the last few months four or five times maybe more. So I had to put on my big boy pants and take his cars away, which is very odd.  And his house burned up in February and we are rebuilding it now. No big deal right?

Won't bore you with the details. I'm a little depressed about it, just wanted to try out a smaller fun fly and meet new heli folks. So in leu of this, its all I can do not to by the new V control and Neos for all five Synergies during this weekends sale!!!! Looks like it would simplify managing five birds. six with the 766 coming. Intervention please, talk me out if it!

Well... It was wet. But, a good many flights happened. It was great to meet those who came and finally put a face to the guys that have helped me here and on other forums. Even with the wet weather, I had a great time. Chris, please plan on coming back next year.. I know it was kind of a bummer.. I did like seeing u fly with ur little boy.. That was awesome! The Synergy Team was great.. Nice meeting & talking with u all.. Hope to see u guys again soon.

Clay, we had a good time!  It was very wet but we still found time to fly between the showers. Aidan had a blast! He is definitely going to be my flying buddy. Next time I will bring more down time activities for him as the normal phone stuff didn't work so well without internet.

I hope to make this a regular event for me, the local events I normally go to in the fall are dying off so it's nice to still have one last bang of the year. OHB is a long haul for me so that's not realistic right now.
