I do! I was going to do a similar approach on my third combat last year only to have a mechanical failure put me into and make it impossible to recover from a high speed dive. Less than one minute in and lawn dart central. D'OH!

Mechanical Failure is my favorite ambiguous term. I had one of those at fest last year that would better have been described as the "tail falling off," but I'm not one to show off with technical jargon.
Yes, pretty much the same. Horizontal stab and elevator fell off! 🤣Mechanical Failure is my favorite ambiguous term. I had one of those at fest last year that would better have been described as the "tail falling off," but I'm not one to show off with technical jargon.

So what are the best ideas here? I'm a fan of keeping a Limbo Bar out there and having a Barn for storming at the ready. What else did everyone love?

Speed.
That would water the crops fine, but not cool the participants off...
A few Ideas gathered from this thread:
Limbo bar
Night combat!
A Barnstorm event, with a barn to barnstorm!
FT EZ Combat
3D printed flyer Combat
Top Speed contest
Longest flight
See how many RemoteID units we can get running at the same time
I know flying over the crowd is a no-no, but how about a slow flyer "crop duster" to spray mist on people? It does get really hot at fest! 🤣

That should have been called Mud Fest.
Maybe I'll have to hitch a sprayer to a trailer behind my Traxxas Slash and drive around fpv.
I have a pump-up garden sprayer that has only been used for water the last 30-ish years. I take it to FF and use it for washing hands, hosing off, cooling down all the time. It's even better when filled with ice water! I also have a 5 gallon water jug out on a table for anyone to refill their water bottles.

Ooooh, I wish I saw that!
If you watch @NickRehm 's video of the monster shredderator, it happens in the background and we both turned to look bacause of the POP we heard.
There are a couple good ones at the beginning of the video too.
It's posted in my previous post
I agree with @Captain Video, I thought it was called Mud Fest 17

It must've just not loaded completely, I see it now.
The site is randomly having performance issues still... Musta been a phantom fluke.
