Tustin Indoor Bash!
April 9-10-11, 2010
Tustin/Santa Ana Airship Hangar, Tustin, California
After many months of careful negotiations Norm Furutani, Ralph Ray and Stan
Buddenbohm and have secured a contract for an AMA-sanctioned Category IV
indoor Free Flight meet inside the Tustin hangar. The famed building-many
times site of National and World record flights, F1D team selections and
other large meets-has not hosted a contest since at least the late 1990s.
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to fly in one of the world's best Category IV sites. The
height to the bottom of the center beam is 167 feet. The catwalks are approx
135 feet high and are 140 feet apart, enabling record attempts in every
Category lV indoor event. This is the site of Stan Buddenbohm's
record-setting "Holy Grail" HLG performances in October and November of
2009.
This event is not-for-profit. The organizers wish simply to break even. At
this point we do not have a firm entry fee because we are unsure of a firm
head count. The more Flyers the lower the per-person fee. We may be limited
to a head count of only 40. As of now we estimate the fee to be no lower
than $50 and probably no higher than $100. That's for three full days of
flying, per person. Please contact us right away to get your name on the
firm commitments list.
The fine print:
* Indoor Free Flight only. Gliders and rubber power
* AMA license required
* FAI sanction will be in place for world record attempts (FAI license
required)
* Flying hours are limited by natural light-probably 7 a.m. to 4:30
