a record number (37 flyers) registered for the event. Lots of flying, fun and mid air collisions.
lots of prizes for the lucky prize winners donated by Geoff of Mighty Small Cars, John and Greg Hatt of Maritime Hobbies and crafts, and Great Hobbies of Charlottetown..

great shots as usual Al....one thing, there are 2 shots of me talking "blue foamies" with Andreas (?)

did you have a filter on your camera or use photoshop to eliminate the glare from my head ??? Almost none there.. >:(

Also notice it took at least 5 frames before my receiver confirmed the bind for the mass launch !!!!! :D

yep, that's a special photoshop filter you have to buy aftermarket called No Hair, No Glare. Very popular filter with the nursing home crowd. works well after you get over the shock of the pricing. ;D

The filter I personally use these days is called Hat On The Head which is free at the google play store. ;D

yes, saw you there on the floor during the mass launch. You're supposed to bind prior to the event. suspect you didn't know that being a footaba user for so long. ;D

You did notice I changed the color of the extra photos link on the web site main page to make it easier to find. shoulda done that the first time round. ;D

6 times before the mass I flew the foamy, each time binded/bunt/bundled.....this time I looked down and saw flashing light on receiver...... just had to wait till it went solid.. :P

Yupper, sure not used to the spectrum "technology"..guess with so many other Spectrumhakkoff turned on it was trying to find a pair of channels to use. I personally thought #'s 17,423,563 and 18,921,400 were available but Tx wasn't buying that.. ;) Maybe I should have upgraded and used a pair of Rx's - not sure where I'd have hung the second one but Spectrum seems big on 2.. ( determined the trims aren't digital also ).

"Bound" is more appropriate for how my system was after lunch - worst fish and chips I ever had..
