Hi Everyone,
On Saturday and Sunday - May 17th and 18th, the Eastern Shore Aeromodelers Club will be holding the 1st annual "HeliFun" funfly in Hurlock, MD.
Come shake off the Winter flying blues. We have a GREAT field for heli flying.
Open flying both days until dusk. There will be 8 flying stations along with a large designated area off of the flying field for hovering, novices, setup, etc. Night Flying on Saturday night.
HeliFun Events:
SpotAuto - the Pilot who Autos down closest to the target on the ground... Wins. To make it fair, Expert Class Pilots will need to auto down inverted.
HeliPickUp - An event designed for beginners and experts alike. A 4" metal disk will be suspended 2 1/2' from the bottom of the skids. Drinking Straws with small magnets glued to the ends of them, will be vertical on the ground (using wooden skewers driven into the ground). The Pilot who gathers up the most magnets/ straws in 2 minutes... Wins.
HeliLimbo - Also designed for all skill levels. Basically you fly your 400/ 450 through 4 stations of two horizontally mounted light PVC pipes, 5' off of the ground... spaced at diminishing vertical heights apart (38"-34"-30"-26" . It is timed, and the pilot that makes it through (which is harder then it sounds) with the best time... Wins. To win this... has some Real bragging rights!!
A PA system for music and announcements. Lunch and drink are included Saturday, with the $10.00 pilot registration fee. For everyone else, we will have the barbeques setup and will be cranking out hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausages, along with chips, various salads, deserts, and ice cold drinks - both Sat & Sun. Breakfast will also be available on Sunday Morning. T-shirts will be on sale for $15.00 apiece.
Our flying field is located at 6035 Shiloh Camp Rd, Hurlock, MD. (N 38° 36’24.8” / W075° 53’07.6”) We have a brand new field, so if you use Google Map/ Satellite view, the new field is not in the current photo. Look over our new field at:

Many of the pilots who have confirmed attending, are some of the Best in the NE. Many of them are factory sponsored pilots. We are "thrilled" to have them!! There will be no lack of outrageous "off the hook" flying for everyone to see!!
We are putting together a great raffle.
