Maneuvering With Purpose
Slipped that in there... In Florida it's beneficial to know how to operate this equipment:
And if you know how to use these you can have a lot of fun. Even the golf course water hazards have bass in Florida.

Not a lot of buzz about flite fest south on here.. and it's only a month away! What is everyone planning on bringing? Where are you guys coming from? I'm super excited for this to be in Florida and want this to be successful!

I'm coming from Gainesville, but sending my daughter to Melbourne to visit with Nana while I attend! Probably just going to bring a mini corsair or mustang and a bloody wonder. After that just have to see what I have room for!

Coming from Tennessee.
I am a 4 time original FF attendee (now called "East"). First two years tent camped, second two years RV, all awesome. The RV is nice on bringing more planes (bigger ones too) and supplies and better sleeping and easier cooking and....but it cost a lot more in fuel (10mpg on 1400 mile round trip). The budget for FF south will be much smaller so I am back to a tent and the small 50mpg car. Packing will be more strategic and needs some planning versus just throwing everything RC related I own into my RV.
I am volunteering at FFS, as that is the heart of FliteFest for me, to help others in the pursuit of the hobby. It will be a solo trip this time as my daughter has school, sad.
Planes:
I have to bring my original FT plane the FT Flyer(c.2014) that still lives and has been with me to all 4 FliteFests.
I think I will plan on building something while there and leaning towards the NEW FT Simple Scout. Loved the easy flight of the FT Mini Scout
I need to bring the FT Bloody Baron for a combat.
I need to bring my FT Mini Guinea "Minion Bob" as he can drop plastic eggs and parachutes, which is just too fun.
I need a night flyer so the FT Mini Arrow with internal LEDs should go too.
I have a few NerdNic planes that are fantastic flyers- nnTrainer, nnMigv2 (a 100+ plane) and contemplating one of his beta designs of the BirdDog, if I can get it built in time and fit in the car.
ok, that maybe too many planes already. yes the addiction is real.
and The DJI Mavic Pro, fun to fly around and film the event.
Camp Gear:
Tent/sleeping bag/sleeping pad/sheet/pillow - may bring additional setup for a friend that may be flying in to FFS and crash my site
EZUP Canopy - this thing has to pack in first as it is huge in my car but nice to have
Folding table and chair(s)
Cooler: ice/water/Mountain Dew Code Red/
Food: prepackaged easy/no prep/no cook - plan on a few on site purchased meals
Clothes: basically FT orange vol T-shirts
Toiletries
hats/sunscreen
flashlights
bug spray
Plane Gear:
Build supplies toolbox
Build tools toolbox
Charging box
Misc dodads boxes(2)
Extra props box
combat streamers
Transmitter(s)
Batteries / metal ammo cans
Runcam
note: much of this post is to help me plan and triage a bit. So it may be more info than anybody else wants,
ha.
I will edit post as I think of more.

What is this simple scout you speak of? I haven't seen plans for that yet!
