I have been contacted by the Founders Fair commitee. They have asked if we (Dufferin R/C) would like to have a space on Broadway for the weekend to promote the club and hold demonstrations throughout the weekend.

This will be a great oppertunity for us to grow our club and bring awareness to the community with our hobby. I have been asked where on broadway do we want to be andhow much space do we require.

I would like to see some onroad and offroad vehicles of all scales out for this. We can bring some ramps to show some of the jumps that are are capable of. Anyone with Heli's would be welcomed out as well. While planes can be displayed, I doubt it possible to actually fly them.

If you are interested in participating, please let me know and I can provide more details as they come available.

What a first day at the Fair!!

Started off with the Tamiya Mini racing.....was fun for us but not much for the visitors of the fair.

The Helicopters got small crowds of people watching and pointing....

Then out came the trucks.....

150 plus people gathered around our launch area around our 1/4 pipe ramp. All having a good time and watching in amazement as our monster trucks , truggys and buggys get serious air of the ramp. Cheering even more when there were BIG wipe outs.

One Traxxas truck broke right in two. A Losi 8ight buggy broke an engine mount I think. My savage body is now well beyond repair and I had two shocks. The exhaust kept coming off at the boot but no big deal, pop it back on and continue on.

We're there from 10am till 10pm tomorrow....Doing it all again. If you are anywhere in the Orangeville area on Saturday, stop by and say hi.....or beat on your truck on the 1/4 pipe.

Pics to follow......

Well what can i say "GO BIG OR GO HOME" right ??? Friday night we were having fun showing off on the half pipe jumping higher and higher and the crowd was going wild so i thought a back flip was in order. 30 feet up , it was a beautiful back flip , i landed it perfect but the motor stopped. The poor losi eight split the motor at both mounting tabs it was done. But we got some awesome pics. So the next morning i went to my LHS and got a axial .32 to put in the buggy so i could give another show. I worked hard and got it broke in and started putting on a good show.But when we got out the half pipe i just had to try it again "CAN WE SAY BAD IDEA" i broke the axial motor same spot so let this be a lesson too all ...Pavement is a bad place to jump........BUT IT SURE WAS FUN ....... I will be sure to have the high flying buggy ready for the orangeville fall fair. I hope to see everyone there.
