MMRCA members Troy Hamm, Mark Custard, and Andy Steere attended this event. These images are in no way designed to document the event... just a few random glimpses of the happenings. These pictures and movies were taken mostly by Troy Hamm with a Canon Powershot A540 digital camera.
MOVIE CLIPS
(These movies were produced using Microsoft's Movie Maker 2.1. I usually recommend right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser.)
A short clip of Troy (Funflyr) Hamm's TACO. Powered by a 30-size helicopter 2-stroke glow engine that he had laying around. First video clip with the new camera... trying to figure it out. The occasional whistle is from the sideways facing heli muffler.

Gary Seeloff's MOJO 40 ARF. This is #2 off the production line (Billy has #1) and was originally given to Paul Swanson (the designer) to create the ARF's manual. Flown by Paul and probably others quite a bit, then was sold to Gary. Covering is a little rough in places, but it's still in good shape. The video starts out with some camera shake, but gets better.

Mark Custard's Yak, powered by a Evolution 58cc gasoline engine. Jeff Pfeifer is the pilot. Unfortunately, the spark plug cap came off in flight... resulting in a dead stick in a bad place. Ripped the landing gear out, along with some other minor damage. Fixable, but still sad.

Troy "Funflyr" Hamm's 35% Aeroworks Extra 260, powered by a Desert Aircraft DA-100. Jeff Pfeifer is the pilot. Troy had some problems with the camera on this clip... and it is mostly out of focus.
