oh boy . . . are we going to end up with another colorex coup?

I'm not sure that boy has ever been the same since . . . having to arm wrestle Sasquatch and losing and all . . .

Ok, is it to early to call Code Weasel? I say we remove Flying Monkeys comfy chair from the hangar and commandeer the coffee pot!

I don't need the coffee pot. The gas station knows me by name and has a thermos of their weekly best ready for me each evening.

Yeah... he wouldn't want to do that now. I have since learned how to reset someone's post count to zero.

Hello Flite Test Festers,

I had sent an email before (posted in an FT FB post some time ago) about volunteering but never got a reply. So as per FlyingMonkey's directions, I'll post here again:

I am coming to Flite Fest again this year with my family. We'll be staying in a hotel nearby again (because I can get a discount through my job :) !) That however also limits our visit :) 3 ppl with separate opinions at separate times with only 1 car ... we are coming from Long Island, NY). FlyingMonkey, if you really desperately need a PA I might be able to help you, depending on required qualifications of course. I wouldn't mind helping out at receiving (which btw could have been more clearly last year) or parking ppl (who partially could have helped with the receiving/info part as well) either. Nor would I mind helping at the First Aid tent. Besides that blood doesn't bother me, guarding a box of Hello Kitty (or whatever it was) band-aids under an umbrella requires nothing more then a lawn chair !! LOL ! If more help needed with the PA system or filming parts of the event (last year at least my camera light helped during the live podcast until it REALLY started to poor :) ), no problem either. I am also going (to try) to fly ... I am registered as a pilot (hmmmm, at least the lights on my tricopter are FAA approved) and my wife and daughter as spectators. Let me know about the hows, wheres, whats and wants and we'll see where it will get us. Thanks,

Pieter

I am an elementary teacher and have the summer off. I could come early to set up and am flexible enough to stay to assist with clean up after the event. I have a small teardrop trailer and could stay in the camp ground. I just started to make the nutball, flyer and delta using the scratch build pieces as a pattern. I think it would be fun to work in the build tent.

jksbusiness - since you are a teacher, as am I, registration is totally your cup of tea. In fact, coffee will be provided. ;-D

You guys are a riot! I liked earthsciteach mid/lower/upper management bit a few posts ago. Very "Dilbert"! lol
All we need is for the volunteers to unionize then the fun would really begin! Looking forward to meeting and working with all of you in a few short months.

Ready to build!

I am volunteering to work in the Build Tent! I will bring a coffee thermos. It will be great to help other beginners have a positive experience. I am wondering about registering for the event. I am planning on camping with a 10x10 pop up shelter and my 4x7 teardrop trailer. How do I register and pay for camping? I do not plan on flying, just gonna help build some great planes with my new friends!
