October 17th-19th in Abilene Texas will be the return of chopper madness. This years funfly is set in motion to bring back an event that was a yearly staple with the Abilene RC Society. We have been in contact with various pilots and Local hobby shop owners in hopes of kicking this event back off on the right foot. I myself and a few other pilots from our club will be traveling to the Souther Rotory classic at Mt Pleasent Texas in September hoping to bring even more Pilots and activites to the up coming event. Lets make this monster awaken from its slumber and let pilots from all around come and show off there skills and make some new friends along the way. I hope to see you there. The field is called Seebee park in Abilene Texas on FM 600. Please visit www.abilenercsociety.com for more details and maps to the field.

Camping and Event update

Camping should be no problem with the restriction of open fires! BBQ pits are ok. There is room for some RV trailers and such but there is no electric hook ups so bring your own power. This event was originated years ago at our club back when Anson Hargrove and Dale Wheeler were the main Heli guys at the field. Dale still comes around now and then and Anson has gone on the be a pro pilot for Team Futaba and Team Protos.
William Lane took it upon himself to bring this event back to full swing he asked me and fellow heli man Dario Hernandez to assit with this huge task of setting up the Return of Chopper Madness which we both agreed to with out a moment of hesitation. We did some measuring at the field yesterday and it looks like we will have at least 6 flight stations with one of the end stations being reserved for beginner and novis pilots and this end of the field will also be used for blade tracking and minor adjustment. There is no major activites set up as of yet but we have a lot of ideas. I would like to do a Auto Rotation spot landing event were to enter you put cash in a pot and the money is split in to three places
something like 60 30 10. I know some guys at the field want to see some drag racing and I have some ideas for the beginners like hovering to a spot or two and trying to hold it stuff like that. Ok my rant is over I will be back again soon with more updates.

Sounds great. I hope to be there and perhaps some of the Fort Worth/Grapefine crowd will be in attendance also.

Chopper Madness

All thought this event is based around Helicopter pilots after going to the SRC this year and watching Nick Maxwell fly his 3D plane Demo I am curious as to if there are any accomplished 3D Plane Pilots intrested in doing a Demo at the Madness. If you are drop me a pm and we will discuss it. Also if you are coming feel free to put your name down on a list here on the forum.

Bringing it all together

Its crunch time now we are just days away from the fun fly I look forward to having a great time. I hope we have a good turnout for this reincarnation of the Chopper Madness. Its always pretty good weather in West Texas sometimes the wind blows a little but I fly in it all the time its no biggie. Once again if you know your coming or at least plan on coming then feel free to post and lets make this a fun event with room to grow.

Event update

Ok after doing a little measuring we decided to go with 150' flight stations which should give plenty of room to ring em out. This will give us 4 very nice flying sites. Also We will be at the field early Friday morning getting all set up and ready to go. Were just days away weather looks to be cool but dry hope to see every one there.

FUN FLY UPDATE

Alright Pilots. Friday morning we will open the field at 10 am as pilots show up we will do one on ones with the basic rules unless we get a big turn out on Friday. Saturday there will be a pilots meeting at 9:00 am field open at 10:00 am. Pilots must bring there AMA cards and must sign in before flying!! not just our rules but the field is a city park and we have to make sure everyone is AMA members. The sun has came out and the field is looking good. We have 4 flight stations that are 150 ft border to border. All pilots must us a spotter if you are here alone just ask any of the members or other pilots I am sure there will be no problem getting a second set of eyes out there with you. We are going to be cooking burgers and Dogs chips and sodas. But Abilene does have some good if not great places to eat so feel free to sample the local food. I look forward to having a great time this weekend and also hoping to make new friend and lasting memories. I will be there all three days and always willing to help the new guys get there birds flying great as well as helping anyone that need help. It already looks like we are well at least a 95% sure chance that we will have three really outstanding 3D pilots from the DFW area and I also know that Mr Anson Hargrove and friends will be rolling in from the Lubbock area so Lets go burn some NITRO and kick this chopper madness off to a good come back.

Day 1

Man oh man what a great day of flying. We had a good turn out today being it was Friday and a work day for most. The guys flying today were tearing the sky up and there was that good old Fun fly vibe were all the guys were telling stories of days gone by not to mention the crash stories. If your in the Abilene TX area and your looking to do some Helicopter flying come on out its looking like a great time to for Helicopters in West Texas. I'm sun roasted and tired!! It's time to crash out and get ready for Day 2.

Day 2

I have to say that this attempt to awake a sleeping giant turned out really well. We had a really good turn out and there was plenty of open air to get some flying done. The weather turned out perfect light wind and lots of sun. I hope the guys that came to the event will get on here and give there opinion but the general buzz was that it was a great time. One of the coolest things outside of all the great flying was the Air Flight Jet ranger that stopped by and let us look at a real Helicopter up close and afterwards Mr Anson Hargrove did an awsome 3D demo flight to show the real heli drivers how R/Cer's like to do it. If you didn't make it this year start making plans for next year because we already have. I'm glad to see Chopper Madness back and with hard work and careful planning that is already in motion right now for 2010 the Abilene RC society would love to make it one of the must attend helicopter events in Texas. Thanks to all the pilots that came out this year and I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Its funflys and events like these that makes flying R/C what its all about. Friends old and new with common interests and mutual appreciation for model aircraft flight.


Ps any one that attended that took photos please post them here so we can relive the fun.
