Time has flown once again, and we are fast approaching the weekend of the 3D Championship Grass Roots competition at Milton Keynes helicopter club. Yes, it's this Saturday!

The competitor list is strong with 30 pilots scheduled to compete and the guys at MK heli club have agreed to people arriving on Friday afternoon in order to get used to flying at their field, and getting in some last minute practice :-)

They are also cooking up some breakfast on Saturday morning for those that camp on site Friday night. Anyone arriving Saturday morning can buy some too!

There's been a lot of good interest in this event so we're really looking forward to seeing a good crowd and enjoying a great atmosphere.

We hope to see you there!

What was almost a disaster due to a little volcanic activity in Iceland turned into an amazing road trip that the participants will (in all likelihood) never forget!

Mike, Pete, Jase, Sarah, James and myself all piled into a mini-bus and drove to Corfu. It was a heck of a trip with the reward being 4 days at RC Hotel before having to drive all the way back again. We laughed all the way there, all the time we were there, and all the way back again. Absolutely insane!

Would we do it again - probably not! But none of us regret doing it - it was just too much fun! :D

You can read up on the antics as they unfolded on the Spring Break - Road Trip blog which we kept as up to date as we could (bearing in mind that we had limited internet access while driving down the autobahns of Europe!).
