Outrageous October Reminder


Looking at doing some serious flying this Fall in the Pacific South West, that means California and Nevada. 2 World Cup events and 4 Americas Cup. Most in one loooong week, Lost Hills prime flying time.

  • September 23-23 USFFC at Lost Hills – Just about everything FF, includes FAI, just get you warmed up.
  • October 2-7 SAM Champs at Boulder Dry Lake , NV [big deal for some, probably not the hard core FAI-ista, included if you are so inclined]
  • October 8-9 37th California Invitational 8-9 at Lost Hills – Americas Cup
  • October 10-12 Bissonette Memorial at Lost Hills, Danish World Cup – Americas Cup
  • October 14-17 Sierra Cup at Lost Hills – USA World Cup – Americas Cup
  • October 18-28 clean RV, detail car, wash clothes, make motors, pay bills, go to Vegas, hit the beach,...
  • October 29-30 SW FAI Challenge at Boulder Dry Lake, NV – Americas Cup

Made those reservations yet ?


Change and Hope

To all my NFFS friends.

As you may have seen in the latest issue of  the Digest, I am running for the
office of President. No, my mental state has not been compromised by Nelson's
and nitro.


I feel that the organization is a good one and that it is my time to invest in
its future. And for those of you that are not a member, maybe now, if I get
elected, you would have an FAI guy to help make it something in which you may
want to join. The more we have, the better to use strength in numbers to get our
points across.

My opponent (Jerry Murphy) is a great guy and has done much for the hobby.
However, I hope that I can do the job adequately and  make NFFS a group in which
all FF'ers will be proud to be a member of.

So, let's vote like they do in Chicago- Vote early and vote often!!
