"Welcome to Helifun"
Saturday & Sunday - May 17th & 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.
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!!
