Re: Radio Control Club of Detroit Melee over Lenox 2016

Due to lack of pre-registrations, and no additional pilots showing intent to attend when polled at Nats, this event has been CANCELLED. Maybe next year?

Re: RC Combat Nats

We had a ton of fun at Nats this year, as always. It's such a pleasurable group of guys to fly with, joke with, and just be around- it's the highlight of my flying, as it has been since I started flying combat. Nothing else compares, or even comes close, in r/c! a TREMENDOUS thanks to William for sa...

Re: Radio Control Club of Detroit Melee over Lenox 2016

Does anybody (other than Bob Loescher) plan to come to this event? If so, please sign up on the Contest Calendar. If I don't have a reasonable turnout (ie at least five guys) I will have to cancel, the club will not want the field tied up for a prime weekend day for less than that!!! If I don't have...

I called and removed him from those classes and they apparently removed him from all five! I called back and got him re-enrolled for 29...

Re: Great Lakes Combat - 8/9 & 8/10 2014

Eric and I had a blast at this meet. The awesome weather didn't hurt any!!! Really enjoyed the Gnat combat- it was nice not to have to fret about "breaking out" for rpm. The nose-to-nose midair shown in the video you posted was BRUTAL!!!
