Ok guys we arrived safely in Taichung after hours of travel to cover one of the biggest events of the year, the 2010 Align Funfly! We arrived at the hotel early Thursday morning and promptly left for the Align factory where we spent the rest of the day hanging out with Aligns team pilots. Alan Szabo Jr., Jason Krause, Leon Luke, Lukas Riva, John O’Rourke, and Duncan Osbourne  were some of the pilots hanging at the factory getting their machines ready for the event. Check out all the pics inside !

Palomar R/C Flyer’s is home to the annual San Diego Heli Fun Fly. With sunny weather and beautiful surroundings, it made for a great event.  With some of the top pilots in the country the noon time demos had some of the best flying I’ve seen in a long time, also on Saturday they raffled a Ray Nemovi ready to fly Trex 700 E conversion.  It was also the first time anyone in the US had a chance to lay eyes on the new Kasama Srimok E.  This event is one you definitely don’t want to miss next year.  If you weren’t able to make it this year, here are some photos of the event.

I had not planned on being able to attend XFC this year however, due to a family emergency I ended up being in Cleveland, OH on Saturday and Sunday.  Late afternoon Sunday I had some free time so my girlfriend and I made the short 3.5 hour drive to Muncie, IN to catch the last that we could of the competition.

I am well aware of our current economic situation.  In these hard times I know that its really nice to be able to keep on doing what you love…in our case its RC Helicopters.

I am not sure if everyone knows but we do offer a paid AUTHOR program at our site.  Unlike other sites that CENSOR and over control the content.  We offer a free reign program allowing our authors and contributors to submit post without fear of censorship or anti-competitive practices.

We offer NEWS….not biased or PAID for content.  Our authors deserve all of the credit for this sites success.  This year we started a program giving our contributors BONUSES and we haven’t really publicized it.

This month we are recognizing the following authors/contributors who have done exceptional work above and beyond the call of duty:

1st Place: Sean Williams (for his excellent post and photo work at the 2009 Align Las Vegas Ultimate Competition & Fun-Fly) ($200.00) (now 2x winner)

2nd Place: Reggie Rodgers Jr (his excellent almost daily updates and forum scouring as well as his work on the Next-D Rave review) ($100)

3rd Place: Calvin Lin (his always BREAKING..up to the minute news from Asia) ($100)

Without these guys we couldn’t continue to do what we do.

See everyone in Huntsville.  Sean will also be traveling with us to Huntsville to give you the heli photo fix.

Suzi C. will be sending the winners your READYHELI money ASAP.  Please spend it wisely

The 2008 Empire Hobby World Micro Heli Cup is now in its fourth year and has already
proven itself as a high profile show for the world’s best indoor micro helicopter pilots. Our
fourth annual event will take place on Saturday, October 18th and Sunday, October 19th
at the iHobbyExpo located in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont,
Illinois. Like last year, we expect great crowds, great media coverage, and lots of cash
and prizes to be given away.

As a previous competator in the last 4 years, Kyle Stacy placing 3rd last year, behind team mate Bobby Watts, this year has put stepped it up a few notches this year, taking the 1st place trophy for both the Micro (Gaui 200 sized), and the Mini (Trex 450 sized) classes, bringing in a whopping $2000 for his winnings, and a smile on his face as he gets on the airplane, with his two big 4 foot long checks.
