SAVE-THE-DATE for ANNUAL WATTOBER FEST 2008 (Friday October 24th and Saturday 
October 25th, 2008) 

This is a fun fly event dedicated exclusively to "Watt" driven model aircraft. 
Planes and heli's of all sizes and types are invited. And, for "WATT" may be 
a first in Arkansas, there will also be a 60ft control line circle for the 
early 
adopters of e-power for th! is type of model. 

The Sky Tigers have already secured sponsorships from Great Planes, Horizon and 
Mark's Hobby Shop. Others are still in the works. This means lots of Goodie 
Man hand-outs to registered flyers and multiple raffle prizes. 

We do not plan to have any competition events, but will present awards to 
participants for "Pilot's Choice" and other such. We will also hold a "Night 
Flying" Friday night and again Saturday night after the banquet. Plan now to 
put string lights, LED's or even cyalum sticks on your planes/heli's, to join 
in 
on the fun. If you have yet to fly at night, it's a new and challenging 
experience... and kinda scary the first couple of times. 

The club will have lunch available both days, at the field. We will also have a 
"Field Banquet" at 6:00PM on Saturday. Awards and other forms of recognition 
and humiliation will be presented during this banquet. Tickets for the banquet 
will be available at ! the eve nt. 

Registration will begin at 8:00 AM both days. Flying will continue until 
everone is amped out. While it is not an official part of WATTOBER FEST, flyers 
are invited to stay over and fly with our club members on Sunday the 26th. 

For those who need it, the club will provide a generator based "Power Station" 
set of tables, where several flyers can use AC powered chargers. 

WATTOBER FEST 2008 is an AMA sanctioned event and AMA membership (card or 
recent 
receipt) will be required of all flyers. 

The event will be held at the Sky Tiger's Field, 9 miles East of Mayflower, AR 
on Highway 89. Flyers traveling to this event will find primitive camping 
available at the field for $5 land-use-fee (covering one or more nights). 
Motels are available nearby in Conway, Morgan and Little Rock. 

Directions and up-to-the-minute WATTOBER FEST 2008 information will be 
available at our website, www.arskytigers.org 


! Make pl ans to meet your friends at WATTOBER FEST 2008... and leave the 
smelly, 
grungy glow fuel at home.
