I was able to make it there by about 3:00 and the crowd was still pretty good. A lot of good conversation with people about combat and they showed interest in getting involved.

We took some info from other clubs where they may host an event. We'll show up and fly the event there.

We still have James, Butch and we'll see who else at the show today.

Things may continue to grow here in the west!!!

Good job guys. I get to sit in a booth the first part of April. Your booth looks good.

This was the best looking combat booth I can remember. The guys did a great job of being very approachable and knowledgeable about the topic of combat. We were literally at the front door of the convention and caught everyones eye. I was tossing around a coro Mig and dropping it on purpose, folks were like UH Ohhhh, and I was like "No problem, it is plastic and a combat plane..here take a look" and folks were pretty amazed.

Another subject to note.... there was a TON of folks also interested in the E versions of the combat planes and wanted to know if they could compete with the glow planes. The good news is that E is healthy for combat, there are a bunch of E enthusiasts out there and I think we will see much more E powered combat planes in the near future. The E-Battle Axe was a very big draw for us.....

Great job....

Maybe some kit makers would donate some kits for a raffle at the Toledo show this year as well as the AMA convention out there. E designs might be shown to all that buy a ticket as well as nitro. The proceeds of the raffle could offset the cost of the booth or could go to pay for memberships for new members.
