Hi everyone, this is for Josh. I’ve been following you since you started back in 2010.

I need your help Josh. Horizon Hobby has decided to cancel their RC fest in Monticello Illinois. I met you there a few years back and I know that you understand it’s not about money it’s about people. I know you’re a Christian and I’m asking you to use your influence to convince Horizon hobby to continue the tradition of the RC Fest occurring early in June. They have canceled it. A friend of mine has a daughter and she’s autistic. She’s very upset that this has been canceled. She saw it last year. She’s probably more into control than I am. I’ve never seen a girl so happy with driving cars or flying planes and she’s extremely upset that she’s not going to go there this year. Please Josh I need your help. I talked to Horizon hobby and said I would be willing to pay up to $50 for the entry fee if it’s about the money because of all the fun times I’ve had there and I know she had last year is there anything you can do to possibly resurrect this or use your influence to tell Horizon hobby to not cancel this event it’s supposed to happen the first weekend of June. Anything you can do would be helpful thank you Josh.

I feel responsible for this since I’m the one that told them about this event and they had a really good time there. I planned on meeting up with them for some driving and flying now it’s canceled.

Please please please come to Flite Fest instead! Let me know if you'll be there and I'll bring planes you can fly there, as well as in combat! Please consider this! I guarantee you'll have a blast!

I’m sorry to hear this. But I’m not sure what Josh really could do. The fact is, all RC companies are having it rough right now with all the tariffs. I think he’d love to help, but not sure what he could do.

As ScottInIowa said, please consider coming to Ohio for an FT event if you can travel. FliteFest is the biggest one and it’s the 3rd week of June. But also, Wings over Edgewater is Memorial Day weekend. I’ll be at both and love sharing my planes. We may not have big jets or monster trucks, but we’ve got combat’s, night flying, bomb drop challenges, and a wonderful community to boot.

you could almost walk there

Thank you for the invite and I did look into that. Monticello is only 2 hours from me and close enough to home that I could get a ride back home from my friend if I get into car trouble. It’s gonna take me 9 and a half hours to drive to Ohio from the St. Louis area and my car is not in the best condition right now as I’m waiting to get a tuneup, transmission and brake work. I really don’t want to risk it driving my car that far unless the work is all done or I have a backup ride home. I really can’t afford to get all that work done before either trip so I hope y’all have a good time and thank you again for the invite.

I found HH canceled all their events for June and I truly believe this is not the time to cancel events, this is the time to figure out how to make it work, even though it’s tough, if we all work together. I know you guys have been there in the past and you know how good it was.

Hi Micro,

I want to throw this idea out to you. Is there any RC clubs in your area. Maybe they have an event going on. I also understand your concern about your car. It's always best to stay close to home. If your car broke down on the road, it will hit your pocket book on the hard side ( $$$ ). Talk to some of your friends and see what local RC clubs have going on. Maybe a hobby shop might know of an event.

 

[Microairman]

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually, there is a club that I’ve been talking to. I’m not a member because I’m again trying to save up for car repairs. I spoke with the president several times and I’ll ask him about your suggestion. Thank you again.
