ON FEBRUARY 25-26, 2006, the OKC
3-D Extreme Challenge Indoor Electric
Aircraft Competition and Fun-Fly was held
at the 45th Infantry Armory in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. The event was sponsored
by Futaba, Great Planes, Electrafly, Mike’s
Models of Oklahoma City, and the main
sponsor, Hobby Lobby, International.
The event hosted 35 fliers from 10 states.
The fliers participated in four events:
Freestyle, Obstacle Course, Hover-off, and
Combat. The four judges were Bill Holland,
Top Gun CD; Ken Brown, hang glider pilot;
Joe Underwood, 10-300 Ultimate pilot; and
Mason Dunn, TV 9 News helicopter pilot.
To these volunteers, a huge thank you.
Greg Ward from TV 9 provided the
sound for the fliers. Jim Flannigan, with
help from three Team Futaba member
assistants, CDed the event.
Sean McMurtry won the Freestyle event
and the $500 first-place prize and the $1,000
award from Hobby Lobby, International for
the win with an AXI motor.
