Midland Helicopter Club Fly-in July 28th and 29th

[oneandonlyian]

Gutted it's cancelled we were all looking forward to grass roots and then onto you guys for the sunday.

I will miss Mk flyin and midlands as i'm in mexico for 2 weeks.

[mikeKendall]

I was going to do the same as Ian. Grassroots on Saturday and Midlands on Sunday. See you July 14th/15th.

[BIGUS NIKUS]

Darren, remember the 14th & 15th July is also 3D Masters weekend.

OOps, sorry, I was misinformed and don't want to clash with those guys. We will take sloppy seconds then and do the following weekend which is the 14/15th

Thanks Mike/Rob for letting me know so quick.

Of course, sods law says it will now shine for the next 72 hours!!!!!!!

[darrens]

We are too Buddy, we have prepared so much but we don't want it to be a wasted trip or a wash out for you guys.

We also know the new date 14/15th July clashes with the Masters, but only a few guys who would normally visit will be going to Holland so we will just have to have a blast on their behalf.

I have let all our sponsors know and have their awesome prizes locked away safely and I will apologise in advance if by the 14/15th they have a little drool on them!!!!!

here's a reminder of what you have to look forward to;

•Midland Helicopters have donated a Logo 600 kit, the one with a V-Bar head worth over £500!!!!!
•CSM have so kindly sent both an SL420 and an SL720 gyro for you guys
•Optifuel have generously sent four gallons of SLV30 fuel plus two of their new 2s lipo RX packs
•Rotorworld have kindly supplied a subscription to the magazine
•Model Helicopter World have also kindly supplied a subscription for you
•Desire RC have sent me one of the new Futaba version of heir excellent Sim Sticks
•Revolution Models have kindly sent some 600 and 700 size Razor Pro's
•Fastlads - Radix and Edge blades plus an onbourd remote glow unit
•Horizon Hobby - Have kindly committed a prize for you and the surprise on the way already
•MHC - The club has donated Phoenix Simulator
•JR MacGregor - Are generously donating some clothing to look cool in (Polo shirt, Beenies and some lovely sunglasses)

Cheers

I was looking forward to bringing my tribe upto your place on Sunday (its my Birthday weekend so on dads b'day w'end I get to go where I want hehe) It's a shame this relentless bloody rain has made you delay the flyin, it hasnt stopped bucketing down all day has it I'll be a Venlo on the 14th so have yourselves a great event, everything crossed that you have a brill weekend.

[jimmy belugy]

Unfortunately I will be at 3D masters so I won't be able to attend the midlands fly in.

[darrens]

We will be rooting for you Buddy and we can organise someone to buy your raffle tickets for you!!!!

[bish]

Think you should start a new thread Darren, as people may not see its canceled in this thread.

[darrens]

Thanks, put a note in the main forum

[Captain Crash]

I'm at masters too, gutted I'll miss it

[darrens]

I'm sorry guys it's just that there are so few breaks to choose from

[darrens]

Well as you can see, the weather was horrible on Saturday but was ok Sunday (sod law prevails!) but we are looking forward to the new date with great anticipation and with fingers crossed for good weather.

The weekend is always about the flying and commeraderie and we are really looking forward to opening our gates (yes we have some nice new shinny steel gates) to you all for a great fun weekend. You are welcome to camp Friday and Saturday night if you like and make a full weekend of it.

As I'm sure everyone now knows, we do our very best to ask some of the top shops, distributors, publishers and manufacturers to donate prizes for us to give away in the raffle and I now have the very final list. In total, we have 35 prizes and of those 35 prizes, 8 of them are helicopters.......yes, we have 8 helicopter kits or RTF models to give away and some other awesome and amazing prizes. I have to be honest, I am completely blown away by the generosity of these sponsors and I'm going to list the final prize compendium one last time, just so you see what we will have the pleasure of giving away that weekend and who has been so kind to help.

it certainly was unlucky on the call for sunday
but the slight breeze sat didn't stop the 47 flying
i was going to come over sunday, i wouldn't have flown for long as the engine blew up in my raptor sunday


fingers crossed the weathers perfect for the new date

and what a great prize list

[darrens]

OK Guys, I so apologise for this, but as our revised date is on the Masters weekend I have now realised just how many dissapointed people that would exclude, so we have decided to change the date one last time. We have found that the 28/29th July weekend is free so will take that and hopefully this allows us to share the day with even more of you.

Thing is, I now need this message communicating to all concerned so please, please do what you can to make sure your flight Buddies know about the changes. And of course, with moving it back another 2 weeks we have a chance this rain may have run out by then.

Thanks to all and we look forward to seeing you

Darren
MHC Chairman
