Oh man, hope that October date doesn't coincide with the Wattoberfest at 
Mayflower.  I try to never miss that one.  It was down a little bit last year 
but they have some guys in that club with some GIANT scale helis (Stan Kaperski 
?sp comes to mind), and guys like Marshall Singer can give you the ins and outs 
on FPV, good setups, etc. Lots of planes  of all sizes electric and in the past 
have had some impressive talent out there too both club members and guests.  
Typically they have an indoor fly in at the Mayflower gym also.  John Gray 
might shed some light on their plans a little later as he is on this list. 

I should have kept my mouth shut because I usually win at least one of the 
smaller prizes, and if you guys all go to that I won't stand a chance! ;-) 

Hopefully it will not bump into Conway RC's fly gig.
