I am interested in possibly volunteering, but I was curious as to what happens if there is an activity that you want to partake in during your volunteering shift. For me, the activity I wouldn't want to miss is the main combat sessions. Obviously there will be many of said sessions and I won't be able to make them all, be it I'd like to make as many as possible.
I'm late to the party but here now. Didn't really think I was going to be able to make it, but it worked out.

OK, so here's my plan and I'd like anyone local to Canton to let me know if there's anywhere better to get what I need.
I fly in from UK, arriving at Canton Akron Airport late at night on Tuesday so I'm staying overnight at a nearby Holiday Inn before picking up a Rental car on Wednesday morning. Heading towards Furey Field on Wednesday, stopping off at Canton Walmart (4004 Tuscarawas St W) to pick up Tent, Mattress, Sleeping Bag, table, chair, cooking stuff and food / drink.
Next onward to Furey Field to set up by around 2pm. If I find I need anything else I can always drive out once I'm set up.
As soon as possible, I'd like to start a build of one (or more) of my own design aircraft, having brought just my Transmitter, a handful of cheap 9g servos and probably a couple of FrSky receivers. Anything else like LiPos and connectors I'm sure I can get from one or more of the On Site vendors.
Once the AMA set up I will buy whatever cover I need for the weekend (I already have worldwide insurance cover with the UK's BMFA but I'm pretty sure I need something else from AMA even if it's just Park Fly cover). Staying over and volunteering until the bitter end, (when does the field have to be vacated) and back to Holiday Inn before I fly back on the Tuesday afternoon.
If I've missed anything, let me know as I like to be as prepared as possible.

I dont think you'll need the AMA since you have your UK membership.
