Hi Bill,

 

Yes I have the info on the Sky Tigers Fun Fly.  See below.  This is what they sent me and I offered to help the club and I will be there during none working hours.  I was out at the field on Sunday.  Come out any Sunday between 10:00 and 3:00.  I go every chance I get, weather permitting.  My cell is 501-470-6014 if you want to get in touch with me.

 

John

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 this 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.

This message is mainly for John Gray but thought it might produce some info of interest to the entire group.  I had heard that possibly the Mayflower flying club was planning an October all electric fly in and possible swap type event.  I was trying to find out if the detail had been set and a date for sure?  This sounds like a VERY fun day and I am looking forward to it if the event comes off.  So what's the word?   Bill Beavers
