Scale competition?

Do they allow modified ARF's?

Not sure......but if we did something like this, we could (if we wanted to!)

I'd be interested in going to check it out. I've heard about it for years but have never gone.

ROAD TRIP!!

I'm going to try and go on one of the days.

No competition. Basically a big scale funfly. Scratchbuilt, ARF's semi scale etc.
Don't show up with your trainer and expect to fly, unless your trainer is scale like a Tigermoth.

Fairly big event.

I watched the video and most of what I say was a bunch of "not very scale" 3D planes. And those heli's sure didn't look or perform like full size

Still, it looks like a fun event to check out... to see how the other half live.

I got hooked on e-power after watching Mark Thompson fly his CL-215 at the Scale Rally. This was a few years back at Kiwanis Park before the move to the present location at the Waterloo Rod & Gun Club. Great show.

BTW haven't seen much of MT the past few years.

Is anyone still interested in going to this... as a spectator?
