FYI... 3 months to SITM '08
Ok... I'm jumping the gun a tiny bit, but it is March, so that means April, May and then it'll be June! Whoo Hooo! 
I learned my lesson from the previous posts, here are the specifics. (Taken form 928 Spec website)

WooHoo!!1 I can't wait.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask Dave and Jeannie to please not skip the tech sessions. There were none last year and alot of people were dissapointed, myself included. There was alot of grumbling behind the scenes about this subject. Please don't skip this part of the event. Thanks.
In addition, would it be possible to set up some cones in a parking lot somewhere and do an autocross? This would be alot of fun and I think it would be well recieved. It may also keep some from driving like bats out of hell on the B.R. Pkwy. Just a suggestion.
Thanks

Hmm, not sure how all the dogs and the RC cars would mix... do you have insurance on the RC Cars?? :-)
NOW, the helicopter would be cool! Since it is our 10th anniversary I have contacted a company about taking an aerial photo of the event.. BUT if we could rig a camera on your copter and figure out a way to take the pics it would be a LOT cheaper :-)
How high will it fly??

How much wind will the copter tolerate?
It's always windy in the mountains. Unless it freezing cold and all fogged up.
