Re: Futaba XFC
This is Colin's year - I can feel it! Do your best Colin - make this the year!!

It's funny how the list of heli participants shows the countries for the other pilots, but Nova Scotia as the "country" for Colin.


It'll be interesting to see what he's flying this year. Nitro or electric, with or without flybar?

I agree because I saw it. Colin spent the past two weeks practicing his routine at our club field and it was a real treat for us geritol sippers to see that young man whip those helis around.

The only thing that could come close to his flying ability is the way he carries himself. first class all the way!

go get 'em Colin. ASRCM is rooting for you!

He had three helis, all 90 size nitro raptors I believe, two competition and one sport machine. earlier in the week he also flew an electric raptor, but don't think he's competing with that one.

I agree wholeheartedly! Colin and Stephen are real gentlemen. So is Scott Gray. I'm really impressed with them all and am glad to know them. They're terrific people.

Re: Futaba XFC
Funny, I made the same comment on Runryder- so Nova Scotia is a new country , eh?
Maybe that new NDP minority has something to do with it!
