Your IRCHA board is pleased to announce the dates for the 2008 IRCHA Jamboree are confirmed:

August 14th 15th 16th 17th

Here is a lodging information for your stay in Muncie.

IRCHA has explored the options and is pleased to announce that a pit area will be set aside for the scale and vintage fliers for the 2008 jamboree. This will enable each faction to share and to help any other pilots wishing to enter the scale world or dust off that old machine in the corner of the basement. Since its inception, the intent of the jamboree was to be a forum for members to share knowledge & experience for the advancement of the hobby. This is what has helped the organization grow through the years and to provide a common bond for the future of model helicopters.

I wanted to take a moment to remind all those that attend the 2008 jamboree of this fact. In past years it has been echoed on the forums about the pilots inability to fly much. With the 2.4 technology upon us, last year I actually heard some pilots saying “even with the record attendance, I flew more than I ever have at past jamborees”. This is awesome! We should also remind ourselves that it is not all about flying. We can fly at our local fields, but we may not have the level of experience and knowledge so close to us all in one location! So make use of the seminars we set up for the pilots. Take a few minutes and look at the FAI, Scale and Vintage groups.

We will be announcing key sponsors and attending the Toledo Expo in April…. this promises to be another record year for helicopters!

Enjoy the event, and soak it ALL up!
