Hey Chris, Great photos and action shots from our Rally!! Thanks so much for coming down from Montreal and congratulations on winning Best Sport Jet with your BVM Balsa Super Bandit!! Your craftsmanship and flying skills are exceptional! Your slide show set to music so very much captures the spirit of Farview Flyers and certainly brought some tears.... See you and your family next year! Rick

Hey Frank...... You can practice fly Thursday (But only on 2.4 Ghz). We will have full use of the frequency board on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hope this helps! We will be doing some set up and field layout on Thursday throughout the afternoon as well.... Rick

RE: Jet meet in the Pocono's
Thanks for the kind words and support for our club and jet event Bob.... I know that anyone who has flown props, jets or electrics at Farview would agree. Doesn't get much better than Grim Airpark in Hamburg....... that's why I tried for ten years to get back to this site to fly RC..... The Boys at Farview (Erik, Lee, Jimmy and Dave) have done all the rest!! We've rolled our field every year with a 20 ton vibratory impact roller and it's really looking great! BVM and Kerry Sterner from US SimJet LLC highly endorses our Jet Rally and are major sponsors of the Hamburg Jet Jamboree. Not too bad for our club resume..... At least we don't have landing lights on our runway..... [sm=confused_smile.gif]

Guys.... Bob Violett and his BVM Factory Staff will be making the trip to Hamburg Pennsylvania to attend our jet event. As one of our primary event sponsors, we are certainly looking forward to Bob and his Gang's visit!! The weather looks favorable for flying for all three days. Forecasted temperatures in the 66 to 68 degree range. [sm=regular_smile.gif] We impact rolled the field last weekend with a 20 ton impact roller and the grass will be vacuumed and cut short for the event. Our runway favors electric and piston powered ducted fans as well as turbines. The field is in great conditon for the event. We will also be using a 30' taxi way again this year as well as two turbine startup pit areas with 5 active flight stations all weekend! Bobcats and Kingcats are definitely welcome to fly off our grass field. All pilots may arrive at the field on Thursday to set up and practice fly!! Come on out and join in the fun this weekend!! Rick
