Is there anyone out there in Illinois (Near Frankfort) that is friendly and wants to get together and fly?

Hey, thanks for finding this. It gets lonely out there. Hit me up with a text. 815.530.0891 or a call. I have the Bloody Wonder ready to go, and a Versa Wing that I am deathly afraid to fly. I was flying the FT Flyer wich was a lot of fun. Even put my iPhone on it. I purchased a couple of more powerful motors and am ready to go. Let me know.

Thanks,

Vince
Frankfort, IL

Hi lorencv - I'm not too far away in Elmhurst, IL if you are still in the area. I usually fly up north in Rolling Meadows but I have heard of a few sites down near you. Maybe there are a few Chcicago FT fans that would like to get together when the weather gets better.

Yea, definately. I have someone in Kankakee that wants to get together as well. I have contacted some of the official fields around me and they are not too friendly. So, it would be better to just find some open area and do it there.

Hey not Kankakee but close. Well why don't we do something by you this time Vince then next by Waco then by me? That way we get to see other flying places and no one is having to travel real far every time we want to fly together?

Hey guys, I'm new to the Chicago area and would love to connect with some FT pilots. In all honesty, I'm a total newbie. Would love to learn from you guys if you're down for that. I'm moving to the West Loop area this week from San Diego, CA! My work is relocating me.

Hey guys so now that Flite Fest is done I'm thinking we should try to get together. Was thinking about next Saturday the 25th for all us Chicagoland FT flyers to get together. Is any one else open to that? And depending on who is able to show up we'll figure out a halfway point between us all to fly.
