Events, Shows and Fun Flys > 2008 Rotary Ring Out, Owatonna, MN

The 2008 Rotary Ring Out will take place in Owatonna, Minnesota. Event dates are August 22-24th.

Please note the field location is the Owatonna RC Modelers club, not the SMMAC field which hosted the event from 2003 through 2006. Unique circumstances have brought the Rotary Ring Out back to its roots. The Owatonna RC Modelers hosted the event for its first two years in 2001 and 2002.

Although the Owatonna RC Modelers field is smaller than fields used in more recent years, you can expect to enjoy great flying, an awesome raffle, great food (including the Saturday night BBQ), on-site camping, night flying, a bonfire and great friends.

Make plans now to come and fly at this "Classic" Rotary Ring Out, now in its eighth year!

For more information visit the event website: www.mrcha.org (look for the Rotary Ring Out link).

Pre-registration is now open!

Some have asked and I want to verify, YES, camping is available on site at the Ring Out.

Also, preregistration is now open for the event. It's a great value at $25 for all three days. With registration you get a 2008 Rotary Ring Out T-shirt (valued at $16) and a $5 raffle ticket. When you preregister, your fees will be reinvested into better raffle prizes and pilot amenities.

Check out www.mrcha.org to see the 2008 Ring Out T-shirt, to preregister and to find out more about the event.

Thanks!

Todd Bennett's 3D class before Ring Out

Todd Bennett will once again be offering his 3D class at the Ring Out field August 21-22nd.

Spots are available for this most worthwhile class. Cost will be $350 plus expenses. You will learn proper setup, safety and flying technique. Todd's classes include buddy box time to accelerate your learning of advanced maneuvers.

I've heard it said that you could spend $350 on a new gyro or better radio and it wouldn't improve your flying as much as a couple days with Todd Bennett's class. His techniques may even save you a crash or two!

Find out more about the class at www.freestyle3d.com.

Please reply or send me a personal message if you would like to sign up for the class.

3d class

What are the dates of the 3d school? On your last post you say Aug 21 and 22. But on your web site you say 20 21 and 22? Won't it be hard to have a class when The fun fly is going on if the dates are the 21st and 22nd.
Thanks Shawn

Thanks for your correction, the dates for the 3D school are August 20-22nd. The first two days are for machine setup and flying. Friday the 22nd is an extra day in case of rain.

Is there there any garruntee on the amount of stick time for the buddy box? A bud of mine paid the 350 a few years ago, he allready was an accomplished flier and builder, he just wanted stick time, said for the 350 he only got two flights.

Dang expensive for two buddy box flights.

Is there a way to maybe break the class into two parts, those who just want stick time and then those who need the full deal?
Maybe more then one or two flight instructors?

Anyone want a pet rabbit?.............I found him on the road dead and I'm tired of hugging him

Be sure to pre register for the Rotary Ring Out. It will save you five dollars and help us better plan for the event.

We realize you might want to register for the event right now and make the decision about camping at the field at a later date. No problem. Register now as a non-camper and sign up for camping at the field at registration on the day of the event.

We look forward to seeing you there. Register now at www.mrcha.org!

Yes, the flight line does face east but there is a pilot station on the north side of the field to ease the AM glare. The field should be great for afternoon flying!
