    The Event
    Last year the ETOC raised the bar as the greatest indoor electric contest of its kind. This year will be no different, just better. This is the grand daddy of all electric events and sets the standard for other electric events. This year we will have 16 of the worlds best pilots (sweet sixteen) on Friday night competing for the top elite 8 places for the Saturday night finals. This year the competition will feature two rounds of specific known maneuvers on Friday night along with two rounds of free-style by all 16 pilots before we cut the field to 8 pilots for the Saturday night finale. Saturday night the top elite 8 pilots will fly a two rounds of known and two rounds of free- style to cut to the final 4 pilots. Those final 4 pilots will fly one round of free-style to determine the 2009 ETOC world champion.

    Hey guys I've got a few pics from last years show, too bad I didn't get many more, there really was so much to see. Amazing show, amazing planes, great to talk to vendors, great to see new products, and see all the ones you can't afford! ;)

    If you live within a few hours drive and are serious about RC there are few reasons I can think of not to make it out, if nothing more then to see some of the great models there. Attached files [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    You won't be disappointed, Just make sure to keep a paper lunch bag in the back pocket to treat the hyperventilation that can occur when you walk through the doors and just have to have one of everything.... :eek:

    Yep, I've been going every year since the early 90s. It's been interesting watching it evolve over the years. Seems like every year there is something that just about ever other booth has. One year it was turbines, another year it was those tethered helis. Maybe this year it will be Phlat plane kits :D

    Oh, yea, I did miss a year about 4 years ago. The wife booked a cruise during that weekend. We were here the Sat I usually go to Toledo. Attached files [​IMG]

    Great photo thanks for sharing with us. I have seen pics like this on the net and I always thought they were faked in some way. I would love to see that in real life.

    Airbus landing; Reverse angle from where we were:

    Neat perspective:

    Here's another beach we were at a few years earlier.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVT08TIE ... re=related

    Pics attached are from the same beach as above ( Caravan landing) around 2000 using underwater camera, so quality isn't all that good; but yes.... they are that low. If you are in the way you WILL get hit. Attached files [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hey mark and Trish. You guys would flip a lot of people out if you did set up a booth for the Phlatprinter. Ever considered information pamplets for giving out? Just go all over and make a big vacation out of it. Buy a big ol' 35' RV and then you cou.....oops don't want to interrupt your dreams :lol: Would be cool though. ;)

    Not sure of the cost of the booth, but I'm sure it would generate a lot of interest. As big as RCG and other forums are, there would be a huge amount of guys/gals there who never frequent the forums.

    Mark,

    I have a friend that's a member of the Weak Signals Club, (they run the show) I'll see If I can get you some more direct contact info. I still say Jump in with both feet and be prepared to hold no for dear life as the Phlatt storm runs wild...

    If you get a booth and do demos, the press will find you...

    Holy smokes Batman! We'll be able to say "We knew them when . . . ", and can even use our post dates here on the Forum to prove it! :!:

    All kidding aside mnt, get a booth and be prepared to take lots of advance orders. Your pricing is fair so stick to it - and you don''t need any "name" to front your pp for you - - YOU are the name already! :cool:
