Flite Fest 2014: who was the 3D guy???

[Richard Haynes]

Who was the 3D guy??? I loved that display, the sound of that engine, wow, and I could almost smell it... over here in the UK. Frustrated not to be able to copy that video to my iTunes because of its format. Could you re-release it as a YouTube clip please? The pilots name didn't seem to appear anywhere, rude surely, and searches for the name, that I thought I heard the announcer speak, failed. Tell the guy... he's changed my life. I've watched people like Mike M, Quique S, and Michael Wargo since but the Flite Fest 2014 guy was the one who opened my eyes, wide.

I'm pretty sure he was with 3D hobby shop, but I don't think it was Joe Smith.

The gentleman that flew the 3D hobbyshop demo was Andrew Ritchel. Great pilot, and I have a video of the flight from FliteFest along with the pilots name and picture...

Check it out!
