I will be joining others this year in the journey to the RC plane mecca also known as FliteFest. I'll be bringing my wife and boys (10 and 7), and staying in a hotel since I'm too spoiled for air conditioning to sleep in a tent. I've been browsing through previous years info but still have a few questions.
- Should I bring foamboard with me? Wondering if there is a shortage of the stuff locally with so many folks building at once.
- What about other stuff like firewalls, tape, piano wire, etc?
- How many tools should I bring along? (knives, soldering iron, screwdrivers, glue guns, etc)
- If I have a bunch of supplies, tools, etc - how do I keep them "safe" while I'm flying?
- How does battery charging work on site? The site says there are charging stations, but do they get super crowded? Should I bring my own power supply and chargers as a backup? Is there even power to plug my stuff into?
- I see there are several stem sessions for the kids - any tips on getting registered, and should we plan to attend all, or are all sessions pretty much the same with only different planes?
- Is edgewater nearby? Would we be able to at least stop by and take a short self-guided walking tour of the outside property?
- Any other tips/tricks that might help us enjoy our time at FliteFest?
