Fantastic event! Thanks for posting it for us Aussies to see😊 Was there many pilots using Frsky?

[@8HrToGo]

There were only few pilots with FrSky on turbine. In the states, FrSky is very popular for foamies, but for turbine not that popular yet. Thanks for tuning in from down under. 👍

I missed it! I was there last year, awesome. Live in NW bakersfield too, no excuse. I have a f4, f16, and f18 all unfinished. Looking to join a local jet club soon. Can locals fly here on a regular basis?

[@8HrToGo]

I'm in SouthCA, so not sure if you can fly there regularly, maybe you can check with Joe Castelao, the BITW promoter. He's on Facebook.
