This weekend there is a fly-in/show in Monaville, TX which is west of Houston a bit. It is being held at Bomber Field and there will many R/C scale warbirds there flying. They are even raffling off a 1/10th scale B17 with engines, retracts, etc.....complete and ready to fly (less the transmitter and receiver). Check out http://www.bomberfieldusa.com for details and a map to the place. Looks like a pretty big show if you are into warbirds and R/C stuff.

I have to work this weekend - and I'm Po'd..lol. Been wanting to go to that for the last several years.
Monaville is about an hour from my house.

Went to that one once sling, Great rc fly in, last time they had 4 b17 RC's up at once.

Yeah I am trying to decide whether to go out there on Sat or Sun. They say that Sat is the best day but the raffle is on Sunday. I sure would love to win that B17. I know I wont be able to fly it for a while but it sure would be cool to hang in my computer/hobby room. If anyone from the Houston area wants to go let me know what day....that may help me make a decision so that I can meet other AH'ers.

The bomber field fly-in is one of the ones I'd like to go to but
Monaville is a long way from Ohio.
A formation flight of r/c B-17's would be something to see.
Sling, multi-engine r/c airplanes can be a handful to fly. I've
been flying r/c for about 20 years and have yet to try it but
I'm going to start building a 138" wing span B-17 this winter.
