| I'm very pleased to announce our very first annual fun fly in Orlando, Florida. This will be held at the RCACF (Radio Control Association of Central Florida) field December 12, 13 & 14 2008.
This is a great location for a fun fly and the weather in Orlando in December is beautiful with very low humidity and average temps in the upper 60's to low 70's. Lots of places to visit near by as well as Disney World of course if you decide to bring the family!
We plan on having a very laid back event, but expect very big names and lots of people! The following pilots have already confirmed directly with me that they'll be attending the event.

* This is simple, we'll sign up pilots during the event who want to participate in this non sponsored pilot contest. Pilots will simply need to fly a 4 minute routine to music and will be judged based on choreography, placement, originality and technical merit. The winner will take home a trophy and a price from one of our sponsors.
** The auto rotation contest will take place at one of our flight stations, pilots can sign up during the event at the registration booth.
Hotel Info
See the flyer below for hotel information. I personally recommend the Kirkman/Universal area hotels if you want to be closer to the attractions. However, this is about a 25 to 30 minute drive to the field. Otherwise, the Altamonte Springs area has nice hotels and is about 20 minutes from the field. Finally, the Apopka hotels are not as nice, but very close to the field (about 10 minutes).
We are working hard towards making this a great event with lots of good flying.
Hope to see you all here!
