The ESL's prime electric event needs your support. All proceeds from this contest will go to ESL to help prevent the need to start charging sanction fees to clubs.
This is an ESL Contest! And I could use your help. First off it's going to be as fun and easy as I can make it. Please come and fly, you may just surprise yourself.
I have started a thread on RC Groups (early I know). If you could help me keep it active for the next 6 months that would be great. Talk it up, be nice to keep it on the first 2 pages.

Thanks for the early supporters. Special thanks to Pete for making landing tapes, they are yellow! And as Pete keeps saying 'Way Long'.
