The only chance of dancing girls would be Pat!!! LOLOLOL!!!! And unless there are some real good drinks available, I don't see that happening... Matter of fact I hope to never see that happening!!!

Man I have to watch the video on this one. Sorry I missed it completely guys

Have to be more careful with the late spring evening meals and the cool breezes lest food coma smite ye down like it did with me. I woke up somewhere around two am With TJ's Gremlin build still playing on auto repeat.. Wonder how many times that ticked the view count up for them.

Will watch it as soon as coffee is finished and my mornin bagels are nice n toasty.

Wake up! Time to fly!
Just finished watching the segment. I think that is one of the better ones I have seen so far. Ben has a great personality as well as what his life experience and education come with it. I like the fact you guys spoke quite a bit about safety. After being hurt due to others actions / inaction I am a HUGE fan of guidelines or rules as long as its not the soup Nazi issuing them and screaming like a raging bull.

I kind of wondered after seeing the last two FF's and the questions over organisation and safety. There were so many statements of "We never got the information" in various situations and times. We are in the RC community and a good portion of us are or will be HAM's to legally fly FPV. I wondered why they do not seem to be using that to their advantage for keeping volunteers informed and on task. Setting up a managed band or few channels for various tasking at FF are not being used. I see one or two times in a video with people with radios but I couldn't tell if they were merely cb / kid level walkies or something like the baofeng handhelds like I now have.

I think the thing that was brought up after FF16 that some sort of program needs to be handed out in the parking lot as people come in. Nothing fancy or oppressive as you walk in the door. But something stating mandatory pilot meetings where some sort of attendance trinket can be issued so when you hit the flight line you show it so it is known you made the days meetings and that is your ticket to even get on the flight line. That or a short write up of flightline etiquette and maybe even a short daily class just for that subject to pass the knowledge on and make the sport more standardized to people NOT in clubs or having the socialization within the RC community.

Anyway enough sideline preaching. Great job gents one and all. Very good episode.
