Woohoo! I have camps 36 and 34 again. Nate is in 37.

Some info from last years post:
It is that time of year again to announce the Camp and Fly event and Sunset State Beach in Watsonville CA!!! Wahoo!! It will be May 4-5th in 2024!!! (Many people come even earlier.)

Make your reservations now if you would like to camp right at the event, here is the link for reservations: https://www.reservecalifornia.com/Web/ (search for Sunset SB)
You will want to stay in the 1 - 37 loop if possible as this is closer to the glider port we fly from.

There is also a hotel near by https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/wvi...s-watsonville/ that you can make reservations at as well! cool.gif

Please make you reservations now even if you are unsure, you can always cancel at a later date!! Or pass it on to someone else that is late to the game.

This is a slope event, so please leave all the powered planes at home. Bring very light planes to medium/heavy planes to make sure you have everything covered! There is usually a small swap meet, so bring planes if you would like to sell any and money in case you want to buy! smile.gif The parking lot on the way up to the hill is usually where people hang out to sell their planes.

There will be a POTLUCK BBQ (meaning bring something to contribute) on Saturday evening. Last year we did GREAT raffle give-a-way at the BBQ, and it is FREE!

Thank you all and see you all there!! biggrin.gif

Oh man I can't wait. What planes do I build this year?

 

[Wayne]

ALL OF THEM!

 

[Red]

ALL OF THEM!

If you saw my stash you'd know that's not likely hahaha

 

[thenated0g]

I may make a couple little things, but going to take it easy this year. I have a ton of stuff to fly. Might bring a 30" version or 2 of a starfire. I had made a 24" for @Hawaii Sloper (starsqueek) but he said a little bigger would be easier on servo selection. Standard version was 48" that we flew last year.

 

[thenated0g]

oh of course a pool noodle plane of some kind

We ALL say the same thing EVERY year! Then comes the 1 month away sickness.....

I better see that deathstar in the air this year

 

[Chris]

It'll be there!....If it isn't space dust by then... LOL

 

[MaxPar]

Woot! I'll be there too. On the 4th YouTube vid, I see my 4 planes sitting on the foreground from the 2022 fly. I got the same campsite and planes (plus more) ready for the 2024 fly.

Btw; Someone flew a seagull type slope plane in 2022. It looked and flew like a real bird that I'd like to get one. Does anyone know about it and how I might get one?

It was probably one of these printed by @RafaelAvila

Plane Print Seagull Glider Kit 1500mm

Soar among the birds with this fully 3D printed R/C glider. Modeled after the common seagull, it fits right in on coastal slopes. Constructed primarily of lightweight PLA, the Seagull achieves a super low wing loading of 17 grams/dm2. This means it will stay aloft even in light lift. It features...

I had discarded them as just some dumb 3d printed plane. But i got to fly one on sunday last year and they are really great.

Can't wait!

 

[Hawaii Sloper]

I love the video of @Red flying his seagul and it taking a whip cream dump on @gnichola . Absolutely perfect timing. Maybe Red will post that one again.

 

[Red]

Good times! I'll have to upload it to YT tonight and I'll post it.

I'm stoked! Got campsite 6, had to book it a little early because of the 6 month rule and it's the 1st today, but I may just go down and enjoy some nice outdoor time. My buddy is coming up from San Diego to join us... This is gonna to be a blast!
