Exile Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Good News, and bad news... Good: I talked to management today. Since the contract that we had that was supposed to bring in aircraft in Aug. pulled out of, they are willing to let me take a little extra time off to come to WSIKF!!! Bad: Last trip out to Portland put me in the hole with my funding. And there are rumors of paycuts coming at work, which will make recuperating money after all these trips even harder. So I can go, but I might not be able to go. I have one more payday between now and then, hopefully I'll able to save enough money out of it to drive out there. If I come, I'll be headed out of town on Wed, getting there on Thrus. Someone had sent me a PM offering to let me share their campsite with them, if you could please PM me again, I would greatly appreciate it. Hope to see you all there!!!!

katrina Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 It would be great to see you there exile. Sorry it's such a long trip for you, esp with gas so $$$. It will be worth the ketchup sandwiches, if you can manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartman Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Unrelated, but does anyone have a copy of the DVD that comes with the b-Series package? I had a copy and can't find it. I'd like to get another for a local guy here who is showing major interest in flying these birds. If anyone has a spare they could bring along to part with I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

flyinken Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 On wednesday the 17th, is the Grandparents fun fly. If I remember right kids are matched up with a grandparent for the day and fly a kite together. The kites are donated and go home with the kids at the end of the day. I will be donating 2 kites again, so if anyone else who will be there by Wednesday morning wants to donate a nice new kite or 2, it will be appreciated. The kites don't need to be expensive. Does this sound about right T? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portlandflyer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I didn't make it up to that end of things last year, just wondering how many people will fit inside that area?? Last year, our field was big enough for 2 rows of us using 120' lines!! Compared to last year, how big is this field?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartman Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm wondering the same thing as Wayne. How much space is this? Seems to me this wasn't a very large area last year. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Where's the four wheel drive scooter rental place for Ben and me? -Alden If you walk down the board walk there is an exit onto the dunes right by the sound tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 If you walk down the board walk there is an exit onto the dunes right by the sound tent. I remember, thanks! But, an all wheel drive "hover round" would be the way to go, maybe with an extra seat on the back. Someone could fly off the back seat all the way down main street... -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlandflyer Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I know they have things scheduled for the other fields at certain times, but will the other fields be available when they're not in use?? Or do we go outside the "ropes" to have enough room for all to fly?? Might not be such a problem during the weekdays, but the weekend could be crowded!!

Felix Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Wow, looks like we have definitely been moved up the beach... Out with "C", in with "Revolution". I think that it is very good news that the 'notion' of a Revolution Arena has been established and that there has been an opportunity to demonstrate why it could/should be a consideration for festival organisers. I am hoping that the event at Portsmouth at the end of August 2011 will also demonstrate the reason for establishing such a facility and that it will be fully utilised in the intended manner.

AldenMiller Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Don't forget that their is an open flying area between the rev field and the water... -Alden [edit]not sure I would have called it an "open fly" area [/edit] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a certain determination to occupy it effectively. The Berck tide goes out further... Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
