MOVIE: 2010 Align FunFly and World Invitational

Derrick Threatt — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:42:07 +0000

Yes, this IS NOT a trailer. At over 13 minutes long this one was a doozie. Took me six weeks with a little red tape but we wanted to keep raising the bar as usual. Align was totally stoked and we allowed them some input on the final product. Seems to be blocked in Germany as usual on Youtube but you can watch on RCHR or download the high def file and play locally.

2010 Align FunFly and Competition-Sunday: The Final Day!

Tommy Larson — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:55:26 +0000

Well this trip is drawing to an end for the RCHR Team here in Taichung, Taiwan. We had an absolute blast coming to Taiwan to cover one of the best events in the world. Sunday was a bittersweet day for a lot of people because everyone knew at the end of the day hands would be shook and good byes would be exchanged until the next time they met! Check inside for the last days events and some more awesome pictures!

Sunday started with the usual mind blowing opening ceremonies being performed.

After ceremonies the finals flights for the intermediate and advanced class were flown. Congrats to Alan Szabo Jr. for taking 1st place yet again at the Align FunFly.

Many exciting things happened throughout the day including the famous ” Air Battle”. This is something that will only happen in Taiwan lol , people line up with air soft guns, shoes, Frisbees, chairs and whatever else they can get and try to take down foamy planes flying around the flight line! What a blast. They even caught the field on fire!

Make sure and check out all of our pics in the galleries for Thursday through Sunday. We will also have the complete Align trailer up within two weeks showing everything we filmed in four days. I promise you , you will be BLOWN away by some of the footage we got. Enjoy!

Monday we went to the Natural History museum in Taipei and Taipei 101. A great trip….a great event.

This has got to be one of the craziest things at any event, two Trex 700's flying through stuff thrown at them. This part of the event should be called Align "Fun" 2010. Check out the video and see the "Fun" for yourself.
