Updated info from Bobby's post #16:

Open flying all day on Friday, November 21st & Sunday, November 23rd.

There will be open flying all day for multirotor and FPV. This section is adjacent to the main flight line so it is still all incorporated. Their will be an obstacle course as well as a dedicated FPV course.

5 Helicopter flight stations will be open during the "Helicopter" time interval, then will be the "airplane" flight interval.

Numerous prizes will be given away including:

Plug and Play DT520 Helicopter complete with iKon Flybarless controller and HobbyWing ESC
Redwing 30cc 76" Extra SC Airplane
Hitec Stuntmaster Airplane
Pulse Batteries
Quantum Motors
HobbyWing ESCs

I look forward to having all of you guys at the event. We welcome all aircraft. Friday the flying will be open all day and night without set intervals unless they are needed. The official event will be Saturday where we will have three alternating groups: helicopters, pattern & 3D. All aircraft will be allowed during the pattern flying as long as they fly in the pattern. Multirotors will have a dedicated spot off to the right of the flight line that will be open the entire time.

The length of each interval will be determined to spread the flying evenly as best we can.

Be sure to prepare to stay for the night flying as well.
