More specifically Richmond, BC. I'll be in Richmond this coming week and will have either Tuesday or Wednesday off and would like to come out to the field if anyone will be doing some flying.

Or if there any good heli shops let me know.

Thanks,

jeff

There are two shops that I know of:

Pivotal Hobbies
RC Flight Store

The guys at Pivotal are good people. Meet and flew with them at Kelowna's fun fly. I'm sure they could help you out with locating a flying field. I'm certain Pivotal Hobbies is in Richmond, but I can't find a store location on their site.

In addition to the two already mentioned (although rcflightstore is in Delta, near Richmond, I think he is only mail order - you could check)

This is a regular store in Richmond http://www.jet-hobbies.com/ which has a lot of helis.

There is another store in Richmond too http://www.racingdevils.com/front.php

Most heli pilots fly at http://www.ridgeflyers.com/ in Delta which is not too far away. Otherwise the guys at Jet Hobbies would be able to point you in the right direction.

Hi CDRKING

Being there, does this mean you will miss Snohomish? Hope not, your flying is good.

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I will look up Pivotal while I'm here. Also thanks for the PM's I will give you guys a call.

Mike,

So far I am scheduled to get back to Seattle Thursday night. I will pack up and be ready to go Friday morning. See you there.

Since your heading from Seattle, you likely to go through the Langely/Surrey border, head to the

RCFCBC - http://www.rcfcbc.com/ (Surrey)

or

Ridge - http://ridgeflyers.com/ (Delta)

For helis, I would recomend going to Jet-Hobbies! in Richmond, and rcflightstore is awsome too.
for some flying.
