Re: Getting Back into R/C Helicopters

Well Just got back from the Fun Fly in Statesboro, GA. - and I'm really! glad I went.
Not sure if the flying guys know who Bobby Watts is? But met him while I was there and lucky for me it rained all day Saturday so everyone was looking for something to do. So Bobby decided to go to town on my Helicopter, checking the set up, etc. Was awesome hanging out with him. And as it turns out he's going to the University of South Carolina and lives less then 30 minutes from me, and said anytime I want to fly with him to give him a call.
Pretty bad ass having Miniature Aircrafts #1 pilot living near me. Today the weather cleared up and holy crap has the flying skills and technology improved since I was flying. I'm pretty sure I was the only NON-SPONSORED pilot there, it was awesome, because of the weather there was only maybe 25 pilots total compared to the usual 100-150. So we were all hanging out putting back a few beers, and mix that with the weather clearing up to just misting at night. Turned into a sweet display of night flying and "Crash's" everyone was egging each other on was sweet.
