I'm from Orleans as well, I was just at Millennium park this past sunday with my family, and I could see a few guys with some racing quads there, After a while of watching and listening to the wizzing sounds from afar, I popped by to maiden my FT sportster and mini sportster, was a beautiful day out !! Both were successful, it was my first time with the mighty mini series and it was a totally different flying experience, Very fast movements haha, I had to land it a few times during the first flight to dial down the throws to barely anything.
I'm sure i'll run into someone from here or other hobbyists alike soon enough !
