BOTH 3D Hobby Shop AND Extreme Flight RC are sponsoring the Ice House Fly-In! Woo Hoo!!! Each company has donated a 50cc airframe to be raffled off to some lucky b*st*rds :)

Where did you see that? One the promotional video it says, "This place is like Disney land for RC. We will have lots of 3D airplanes, Helicopters, and FPV flying" FPV is far from 3D, besides I would not let it hold you back. I am a 3D gumby and many events I have been to have I ever felt out of place or not welcome. I have never been here though, looking forward to meeting you.
 
On the website for the event it lists "2 Flight lines (3D and 3D Heli)". I don't have a helicopter and 3D is really not my thing. It just means I probably won't be flying....just spectating in this one. Should still be a good time!

Glad to hear that you are coming! You are welcome to fly in straight lines & circles...most of us 3D guys don't know how to do that :)



Seriously, there is plenty of room for everyone and every type of plane and flying style. As the event grows, we anticipate adding flight lines to accommodate other interests.



Come on out, bring a plane, bring your friends/spouses/kids/etc. It's gonna be a great time!

Great to hear Low_N_Slow. That's good news Alex, that means you will have the airspace to yourself - and me.
