[Sempai-mj]

[shrek]

I'll take care of security in the pits area and monitor the no fly zone.I'll also pick up the raffle tickets and will purchace garbage bags industrial size.

P.s Micheal if you need me to bring all the stuff for the fun fly we can meet up that morning. Let me no

[beto9]

Le bléd'inde est pour moi, if you tell me where to buy

Quinn's Farm on Ile Perrot. Pick it up in the morning of the Funfly. If you don't know how to get there I can do it.

Mike:
Raffle selling: I will do it. I only need another one (or I will "volunteer" him!).

We need good customers of Udisco (Abandon all hope...), Distribution, HobbyVille, Great Hobbies for donations. Invite Nick DeBiasse and he will donate.
Ted's already covered by Stephane.
We can also raffle a WIMAC membership for next year.

Somebody could organize some contests: limbo (RichR:D), the most number of landings and takeoffs in 2 minutes, etc.

Be back with some other things....

[Burning Head]

Quinn's farm hein...:rolleyes: it's copy Albert. Except if you insit to go:D

[beto9]

I need to know the names of 6 or 7 members of WIMAC who are good clients to Great Hobbies. I will send your names when asking them to contribute something for the raffle.
Please, make it fast!

Contact Joe 'joe@greathobbies.com". he is really helpful.

[Sempai-mj]

I like when things start to come together.

Ok Stephane Security, Fly Zones , Garbage Bags and BBQ Puckup

Albert, Corn, Raffle Tickets and Sales, of course you can volunteer your helper!

Good ideas for the contests, can we add landing on the white line across the runway?

What contests can the Heli's do?

Hmmmm, who should do the dance to keep the rain and wind away?

[Sempai-mj]

When is the FunFly?
Saturday Labour Day Weekend, Rain Day is Sunday.

[Sempai-mj]

[beto9]

I have purchased 2 planes and 2 sets of JayDee skis and a G5 Simulator.

Try to find your customer number.

I think that from now on when we buy from Great Hobbies we should mention we are members of WIMAC. I will mention that when I contact the guy for their contribution.

Any more clients?

[Burning Head]

Saturday Labour Day Weekend, Rain Day is Sunday.

3 sept. 2011 sat

[RichR]

Tarek, David H(If he's in town), and myself have the speed demo covered. I can organize a spot landing contest or a limbo contest. I think Tarek mentionned that he has the turbine demo covered with his Jetcopter.

[Kevin Rochon]

My customer #23596 from GH last thing I bought was a Radio:angry:

I used to control the impound box but with only me and maybe 1 or 2 others still on 72mhz well I'm out of a job.

[Violets]

I’d like to give a hand, can pick-up some of the pop at Costco, but can only supply one cooler with ice, help-out with the food serve (good cook), and help with the clean-up.
Let me know?

Michael

[jim]

I'll bring 2 coolers full of ice and my tent.

[jim]

I'll also speak to Mark at Udisco for some moola.

[Michael V]

Right then, Good Show, do it.:)

[Tarek Hassoune]

I guess the food is left for me like last year will take care of picking up the food

[shrek]

Tarek i think the food is covered by Micheal and albert ?

[beto9]

Ronald, can you decide on the amount and number of gifts certificates the guys should buy at our preferred hobby shops for the raffles. please!

[Sempai-mj]

I guess the food is left for me like last year will take care of picking up the food

Thanks Tarek but the food is taken care of, we need some more coolers and Ice, Water to Boil the Corn.

See this updated attached file, any line with "????????????????" needs a volunteer.

mj

[Ronald Longtin]

Ronald, can you decide on the amount and number of gifts certificates the guys should buy at our preferred hobby shops for the raffles. please!

I shall contact the members directly.

[Sempai-mj]

Tarek can you confirm if you will be doing a demo with your Turbine?
Also confirm if Nick we be there.

[beto9]

I am panicking! Where can you get raffle tickets!?

Somebody has them from past funflies?

[bob forest]

Bureau en gros. and maybe the Dollar store try that first.

[briankizner]

No need to panic- try Bureau en Gros. Get the tickets that come in a double roll- then, when you sell them, you keep one for the draw and the other goes to the buyer.

[beto9]

My first thought was Bureau but they do not have them in the on-line catalog...
Will try Dollar...

[Ronald Longtin]

I have some stuff in the club cooler that Dwight gave me, including raffle. I'll check demain and let you know.

[shrek]

who is taking care of ted's ?

[Sempai-mj]

who is taking care of ted's ?
I belive Jimmy Givis offered to take of Ted's yesterday morning.
Check the sheet attached.

[shrek]

Well i didn't no so went a head and talked to Peter from Ted's. Peter told me if we buy a 100$ gift certificate he will match it with equal amount. And he will donate thinks to give out at the raffle. He said also that we can post the event in the store.

[beto9]

Panic abated, I have three rolls of raffle tickets. There will be a prize for the "volunteer" who sells the most!

[beto9]

Do we have a bullhorn? It will be good to explain to the crowd what is going on: turbine heli, funjets, call to eat, guest flying, etc.
Also, we put all the planes in the runway to let the visitors look at them and ask questions.

I think Christ L try to repaire it. because Dwight M tell me that the sound came out was with a lot of distortion

[dhamultun]

I'll bring cooler and ice...

[Sempai-mj]

I'll bring cooler and ice...

Nice one, David, I'll put you on the list.

[dhamultun]

I'll help out with no-fly zone also

[RichR]

Put me down for the signage (Pilots Only Beyond This Point), I'll make french/english copies. I confirmed with Tarek today, he will be demo'ing his Turbine heli, so you can confirm him for that.

[Sempai-mj]

Excellent!

[Sempai-mj]

Tarek, Did Nick confirm to come?

We need a Parking coordinator

We need 4 x 5 Gallons of Water for corn boil.

Demo flights (Scale & 3D)

Heli demo (Mario ? ........)

Clean up crew.

See attached updated file.

Thanks

[dhamultun]

I can bring my camping water container with water. Not sure how much it holds...atleast one gallon.

[mdauth]

Put me down for 1 cooler with ice and 2 bottles of water (I think 10 litters each) for the corn.

[Tarek Hassoune]

I will speak to him tomorrow and will let you know

[Sempai-mj]

Thanks Guys,
Michel (Cooler Ice & Water)
David (Water)
Michel Laviolette (BBQ Help)

I put you guys on list.

Anyone out there would like to be the official photographer?

Mick & Andrew can you Demo your FPV's?

See attached PDF file Updated list as of this morning.:)

[beto9]

I'll bring my camera... we need another also.

[mdauth]

I'll also bring my camera and video.

[Andrew Fernie]

Mike,

My FPV took a nose dive from altitude (elevator control horn separated), so not much to demo at present. Skywalker on the way, but I doubt it will have it ready in time.

Andrew

[Sempai-mj]

Only a couple of spots to fill, see updated attached PDF file.

[Burning Head]

Put me in for the clean up and maybe a stuning smoke show:cool:

[Kevin Rochon]

Sorry I don't want to commit not even sure if I'll be there, just picked up my new electric furnace yesterday got to take out the old one and schedule the electrician plumber etc.

If I'm there then I'll do whatever I can to help.

[Mick]

I am gutted that I am going away for the long weekend so will not be there to help and demonstrate my FPV.

I hope it all goes well and you have a great time.

[Capt. B]

I didn't have the time for a membership at the club this summer, but could give a hand. I'll probably show up with a few cadets to see the show. If they get fed, then they'll happily check the area for trash every so often.
A couple of suggestions:
Have you considered asking the school for access to an outdoor fawcet if there is one, to get water into coolers? Better than using drinking water.
Also I don't see on your list any provision for a bullhorn or microphone/speaker to make announcements.

[Sempai-mj]

Thanks Don,
The water will be tap water, ie. Labrador water jugs refilled with tap water.
As for a bullhorn, we have a small one, if you have a large one please bring it!

[Capt. B]

We have a small PA system with a wireless mic in the squadron office. But it needs 110v. If there will be a generator then I can see about that.
What is the expected start/end time for this? 10-5 ?

[Hadi]

I really wish I was here to help out but unfortunately I'm leaving for a two weeks vacation until Sept. 9th. Hope you all have an amazing time :)

[Sempai-mj]

Hey Guys
If you want I can give a demo of IMAC and freeflight in my 40% Extra 260

Michael V. can you confirm that you will do the Demo as offered?

[Sempai-mj]

I don't think we need the PA, the event time is 10:00 - 17:00 Aprox.

[Sempai-mj]

NICK DI BIASE from ND HELI will be attending the FUNFLY again this year, he will be setting up his trailer in the Heli Parking lot like last year.

He will be putting on a session on tuning glow engines.

************************************************** ***************************************

Also RichR (Rich Rambahal) will be organizing a "Spot Landing", who can touch down the two main landing wheels and stay on 3" - 4" Wide Tape running across the runway, the closest wins.
If you would like to participate sign up on this thread.

Updated PDF Attached.

[RichR]

So the "Pilot Only" signs are ready, going to head to the field today or tomorrow to put them up. I have confirmation from at least 6 pilots who would like to compete in the spot landing contest, those who are interested please advise me, thanks! :)

[Flying73]

Hey Rich. I'd like to try that spot landing contest if possible.

[shrek]

Rich i just want to confirm that i will be competing in the spot landing.

[RichR]

Excellent, keep it coming guys! There will also be an invitation on loud speaker for those that want to compete on the day of the fun-fly.

[Sempai-mj]

Come on you electric plane guys get in on the spot landing contest, hmmm perhaps electrical power planes can't do it ?:D:D

[Burning Head]

And the rule are...

[RichR]

Each pilot has a total of 2 mins, within that time you must takeoff and land as close to the bright strip on the runway as possible. The landing must be a controlled landing, no pancaking or bouncing and such... The spot at which your wheels first touch will be measured to the line and the distance will be your 'score'. The pilot with the shortest distance wins, if more than one pilot touches the tape or are tied, it will move onto a sudden death final. If you land after the strip you are automatically disqualified. Each pilot in the contest is allowed only one attempt, we do not want to occupy the runway for a very long time. The contest should take no more than 30 mins from start to finish. Goodluck to all contestants, and the winner will be awarded a prize! ;)

[Burning Head]

Do we have a photo finish stand;) Put me on the liste too

[Sempai-mj]

We need someone to monitor the parking situation.
Pilots with planes & helis park in the parking lot.
All others should park on the shoulder of the road.
I have some signs made up indicating that.

[Burning Head]

4x4 should park on top of the gravel hill:cool: I just kiding but we still have the time to work on it. Lets rent a loader

[beto9]

Damn weather! Saturday's 30% probability of showers is 70% of no showers....
We should monitor the forecast, is pretty changeable..
Who will be the Big Buba taking the GO/NOGO decision? Around 8 AM?
Hopefully all perishable food is frozen. I will buy the corn the same morning.
