| Mark222 rrApprentice Kelowna, B.C. Canada | JimThanks for the comments.Good to hear you liked the poster. Looking forward to seeing you there, for sure. I was surprised to find the co-ordinates for the field are on "Google Earth". 49 52'46.10"N, 119 20'24.26"W. You can actually see a few cars in the parking lot. Have a look! Mark G. | ||

Apart from the RC angle to such a visit Kelowna happens to be set amongst vinyards and orchards within the stunning Okanagan valley making it an idyllic setting for a vacation. Kelowna is the largest shopping centre between Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver Kelowna's Malls, stores, lakeside attractions, winery visits all within 15 minutes of the flying field make it a great vacation spot for the ladies too.
With an average of 2000 hrs sunshine per year and sand beaches by an 80 mile long lake Kelowna is often referred to as the "California of Canada." Kelowna has been western Canada's best kept secret for many years, its a superb venue for a family holiday, what better vacation could a serious heli flyer want.
Come fly with us Aug 5&6 2006 | ||

| Mark222 rrApprentice Kelowna, B.C. Canada | KamlooperOnly 2 weeks to git yer "chit" together. Come on down anyway and meet everyone. There's always lots of stuff to learn when heli pilots get together. People are coming in from different parts of BC and Alberta. There will be a number of factory reps on hand for those who need set-up help. The local heli pilot population has more than doubled since last year! We're looking forward to a great turnout. So come on down, have some fun. Mark G. | ||

| Mark222 rrApprentice Kelowna, B.C. Canada | KamlooperTry to make the event if at all possible, there will be a number of experienced pilots here. We'll have more Heli help and tips available in Kelowna during this event then at any other time during the year. You are welcome to come down another weekend for set-up help but once again I would highly recommend attending the funfly. We don't have a lot of heli only events in BC. Consider this as an opportunity to learn as much as you can about heli's with a group of like minded people. Greg Good to hear from you! Yes I'll have my AP rig out and would love to talk shop. I have more than a few questions for you. You've done some very cool AP design and fabrication work. Hope you're bringing your AP gear? Mark G. | ||

On another issue... I'm sorry to have to announce that due to an unforseen contractual problem our planned musical entertainment on saturday evening has now been cancelled. My profound apologies for this. The BBQ will however still take place, as planned.
