Good point, he did not mention a store in the video... but they do have a fire pit for roasting weenies and s'mores, and fellowship. All in good fun but he also did say that they are using raised fund money and sponsors to get this thing goin so I am sure that this video was just an update and not a full scale grand opening extravaganza kinda operation. YET! I am sure, just like any other small dollar, huge endeavour type of production there will be additions to the facilities to make a more complete experience all in one stop never have to leave dream scape flight land. Till then make sure you are prepared, have a plan B in case of life's little incidences, support the cause by ordering stuff from their online store and keep going back to see the improvements as they happen over time. LOVE THE HOBBY
If you werent looking skyward at FPVfest you'd almost forget you were at a flight related meetup. Guys had all manner of cars there, myself included. OFC I repped nitro with a sc10gt, Mad Crusher GP and Slayer Pro(I actually beat a Granite 3S in the tall grass with this thing!), but there were scalers/crawlers(I brought my CA-10 and someone else had a Yeti that I know of), plenty of electric SCTs and MTs, even a 1/5 gasser. And lord knows they have plenty of room for surface features at Edgewater. Planes cant fly off sand bunkers and muddy hills, after all.
This is nice to know since i have a tmax 2.5 and a rustler VXL i also have a redcat tornado but im getting rid of it. maybe ill put some wings on the rustler.
I saw some guys running a Slash in one of the sand bunkers, but at that point all my surface rigs were dead for one reason or another(SC10 and Slayer both had a total failure of the one-way bearing in their starters, CA-10 had a bad drive axle, MCGP's low-end is so far off in the rhubarb that it's undriveable at anything but WFO) so I couldn't go and join. Would have loved to; the slayer's got a Dynamite 19T 5-port and FPV in it. And it's running on Proline 1.9 Swampers. It would have eaten that sand trap alive!
That, and being able to just screw around with them. Most of what I did at Edgewater was precisely that. I ran my Slayer up and down Read-i-Board Runway countless times, zipped through that little field, did some drifting donuts around some trees, yeeted it off a hill or two. The drag race was fun but barely a fraction of what I actually did with it. And next year I'll have it good and skookum, I'll run it FPV, itt'l be boss.
Might I suggest just letting the engine sing the song next vid? Hehe. You're not actually driving yours from FPV though, are you? I'm controlling mine through the video link, got a 1000tvl cam on the inside of the roll hoop. It's something else. Absolutely love it! Also gave mine reverse and from-the-radio engine starting, two really REALLY critical features for driving a nitro SCT from FPV.
