Another one of our EPIC industry changing videos. 8 hours of footage and 12 hours of editing surely makes this one of the top five videos we have produced. 2010 Las Vegas Fun-Fly was definitely a great event.

Here is another batch of pits photos and some team photos that we took at the 2010 Las Vegas Fun-Fly on Friday. There were a surprising amount of vendors in attendance. I am not sure about the official registered pilot count but there was about 100 if I were to estimate.

Man… what an event. There’s something about the Vegas Fun Fly that sets it apart from all other events. Sitting back here in my room looking over the strip is a nice change from the usual Comfort Inn. I arrived to the field Friday afternoon. The weather was fine but the forecast planned for 30mph winds all day Saturday. I have a feeling that Saturday morning most thought the event was blown out because there were only a few people out there. That, or a bit hung over. Early on in the day, it didn’t look good. The wind was gusting hard and no one was flying. Around 10 the wind passed and left a beautiful 4 hour window for flying, which everyone took advantage of. By 1 the winds had returned closing off flying to all but the brave or insane. We witnessed Curtis Youngblood and Nick Maxwell make some stunning 1500 foot autos and 130 mph passes with the strong tail winds. Some were even brave enough to play in the wind with their 450’s. Needless to say, it was very entertaining. Read on for the rest of the story on the event.

I got a chance to make it out to Phoenix this weekend and had a great time.  Arrived late Friday and did a quick photoshoot for some upcoming things we are doing for RCHeliMagazine with our new RCHR Girl Tammy Dinh from Frank the Entertainer a Basement Affair.  We are really trying expand our reach to different and small fun flys so if you have an event you want us to promote feel free to email me and see if I can attend. Friday was cloudy earlier in the day and in the evening the clouds dissipated.   Crowed was light that day but picked up on Saturday.  I didnt get the final count but it was about the same size as last year.  I didn’t see any new products there but there were the usualy SW suspects, Tim Jones, Ian Crane, Darren Reed, Kyle Dahl, Jason Krause, Ben Storic, Jason Bell, Thomas Moore, Justin Berry, Ray Nemovi, Devin LeBlanc and I am sure many more that I dont know all their names.

Saturday was cloudy earlier in the day but the clouds cleared around 1pm and was warm enough not to wear a jacket the rest of the day.  During the evening it cooled and the winds came back up during the auto contest but was just fine.

Carribean Fly-In 2010 was held this past weekend in the Dominican Republic.

It was one of the best events I have ever attended. Axel Hache (Event Coodinator) put on a tremendous event and treated us heli pilots with great respect. I know, as a pilot, how much tension there is between helicopter and airplane pilots but I actually forgot all about that til I say down and started writing this post. This event was primarily a Jet event but we got alot of helicopter flying in. I was there covering the Jet event but the helicopters we just as popular as the jet powered models.  We were on hand for video and photo event coverage.  Some great video here with Alan Jr. & Alexander Ruiz on the FL 760 Flybarless Gyro.

Not much to say about this event that hasn’t already been said.  212 registered pilots for a second year event is incredible.

As you know we covered 2009 Orlando Heli Blowout in Apopka, Florida this weekend.  I myself, totally underestimated this event and I am thankful that it was as big as it was.  Even though Wednesday, Thursday and Friday started off a bit cold…Saturday and Sunday were amazing.  This is one for the record books.  Second year, over 212 registered pilots…and about 500 people on site. Great flying, demos, contest, raffles and huge sponsor support…as well as the thankless efforts of Team OHB and RCAF members who made it all happen behind the scenes.  As I sit here on my flight back to LAX writing this….as with every fun fly….I wish I could bring you EVERYTHING the event has to offer but it looks like we have done so by getting the word out for the event coordinators and motivating more people to come the gatherings.

UPDATE: Over 151 Pre-registered pilots and 12 RVs camped out so far!

The 2009 Orlando Heli Blowout is going to be a hit. Mother Nature is doing way better than last year…forcasting 82 degree Fahrenheit for Saturday. Lets hope this forecast holds and I will be one happy camper. Looks like there are over 100 PRE-REGISTERED pilots already. This is going to be a great event. We will be donating the new RCHR hats to the event. So if you cant afford to order one…or just cant catch them in stock you better get one in Orlando.

Event Information is here.

Dont miss out on the 2009 Orlando Heli Blowout.  Looks like this is going to be the “Don’t Miss” event of the year.  Mark Ryder from RunRyder.Com will even be there covering the mayhem.  Here is a video to prove just how insane this event is going to be.
