FabFeb Update

We got our 100th entry = Bruce Hao F1B sportsman from Australia a few days back, some more since.

We have 3 vendors :- look on the web site – sen.faifreeflight.org
Walt Ghio with “Power” stuff
FAI Model Supply with Rubber – latest batch is Great!
Eitan Habba with Icarex
With all,  contact  before the event
Any more?

The organizers are in regular contact with our neighbors at Holloway who assure us that the entrance road will be just like the I-5. We will be publishing guidelines closer to event. Follow these as they will be based on current field conditions. .  The current nice weather is drying out stuff.

We just came through LAX and everything went very smoothly..including bringing in the usual Kiwiana stuff for the awards.

We are running the Ike AMA events along with the Kiwi Cup.
If you are planning on entering do it now especially if you are outside the USA and need an AMA associate membership.

Go the web site sen.faifreeflight.org and get the event information and link to enter.
