Here's another flight "Festival"...

[herk1]

It's the HobbyKing "Festival of Flight"! Hmmm...wonder where they got the idea for that name for their RC fly-in event? (last year, they just called the event "Hobbyking Elmsett UK fly-in").

Looks like HK is taking their penchant for copycatting into a whole new area...

That was my thought exactly when I saw the video...hmm where have I heard that before? Oh well, the best form of flattery right?

So many comments I have for this ... few are kind. First they got me angry with the dishonorable change of the Bixler line to the "Bix" (undoubtedly done to divert search engine quires away from FT and to HK), then the Rotor Bones copy "Rotor Bits" (same exact thing but HK has more $ for R&D and marketing) and now Flite Fest copycat "Festival of Flight". I used to buy from HK occasionally if I couldn't find what I needed on eBay but I don't think I'm going to check HK anymore simply on principle. Unsubscribing to all HK stuff right .... now ....
