OC's HELICOPTER GATHERING September, 19th, 20th, and 21st.
OC's HELICOPTER GATHERING
Well we are all set with the flying site and dates.
The dates will be the weekend of September 19th 20th and 21st. We will be posting a list of hotels, rates, location, and directions to the field shortly. We will have old helicopters and old fliers attending. We will also have new helicopters and pilots here. We will have a clinic on helicopter setup for the novice fliers who attend the gathering. Anyone past, present, or just considering RC helicopters is welcome.
Everyone is welcome. Atlantic City N.J. is 20 minutes away from the flying field and they have the boardwalk, beach, hotel casinos and shows nightly if anyone would like some night action. Will post complete details for all soon.
If anyone has there own airplane, or is a private pilot and has access to one, there will be a facility to park and fuel your aircraft at our Millville, N.J. (MIV) location. There will be transportation or rental cars availible. For any one flying in you can contact Babs at 609-293-9000. She will be happy to provide you with any assistance or information about the facility at Millville N.J., rental cars, or any other information needed to make your trip a pleasant one.
We would sure love to see all who come, and we promise a good time will be had by all. Here are a couple of links for the Atlantic City, New Jersey night action located about 20 minutes from our flying site. There of course are plenty of hotels in Atlantic City also if you prefer to stay there. We will post other hotles shortly as we work out good rate deals for all who make the trip.

OC's HELICOPTER GATHERING
Hi Everyone,
We have had loads of novice fliers along with the big hitters sending messages to us about the gathering. The helicopter gathering is for everyone who wishes to join us here. The trip may be far, but it will be worth the effort for all who make it.
Any novice fliers out there that feel our helicopter gathering is like the others, and is designed just for the big hitters to gather, let me make something very clear about the gathering. It is for all helicopter fliers who want to get together with other fliers. Novice, sport flier, expert, old machine and new.
It is for old guys like me and others who are simply trying not to crash their helicopters too much. Which I am sorry to say, will probably happen to me a few times over the course of the three days. It's for the old machines to scare and amaze us, it's for the new machines to wow us. We may even have a surprize or two for all who attend the gathering.
We wish only one thing for all who come, novice, sport flier, old iorn flier, and expert alike. To have a blast with each other. We hope to have an event to remember, and one that is talked about for the rest of the year. We will fly our ships, we will maybe crash our ships, we will stroke our ships. Whatever your pleasure. When it is over, the best thing that can happen is this. People who made the trip talk about it for the rest of the year, and go away feeling satisfied and want to make this helicopter event again if we have it.
Everyone is welcome, and there will be things going on continuously which will interest all. Love to see everyone and anyone who makes the gathering. There is only one requirement for OC's helicopter gathering. When you come, bring the same excitement with you that we all share when it comes to these RC helicopters. I can't wait to see all you guys that make it there.

OC's HELICOPTER GATHERING September, 19th, 20th, and 21st.
Here is a link for a map of the area from Mapquest. Look at the map and follow our directions to the flying site for OC's HELICOPTER GATHERING. As a point of reference use Sommers Point N.J. as the starting point. After you read our directions below, click on this link to pull up the map around Sommers Point N.J.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.ad...x=70&submit.y=6
Follow RT. 559 N.W. from Sommers Point N.J. to Zion rd. RT 559 merges with Zion rd. Follow Zion rd. to mile marker 8. It's only about 2 miles down Zion rd. to mile marker 8 once you are on Zion rd. At mile marker you are there at the field. There is a gate to enter on your right at exactly mile marker 8 of Zion rd. Turn right through the gate and follow the gravel road and which has high trees on both sides. This will open up to our flying site.
Another name used around here for RT 559 and Zion rd. is Sommers Point Mays Landing rd. Again, the entrance to the flying site is exactly at mile marker 8.
If you extend the map Zoom you can see where we are in relation to Atlantic City, N.J. Phila., PA. Wilmington, DE. and so on for reference.
For all you that like RC helicopters, this is one event you should try to make this year. There will be free raffels for all who show up at the gathering with a helicopter and transmitter. There will be old helicopters and the fresh helicopters. There will be wild 3D flying, there will be old helicopters flying wildly.
Plenty of food and cold drinks on site. There may even be a surprise or two for all you guys to see. You HOT DOGS out their may even like it. Everyones invited.
