Port Clinton Ohio RC Show Needs Tankers

Post by Max-U52 »

There's a large RC Airshow in Port Clinton, Ohio each August (this year the 26th, 27th and 28th) and the Director of the show has extended an invitation for RC Tankers to put on a display to help promote our hobby. The show people are pretty cool and we've been offered a large display space, about 85x100 feet (grass cut to putting green levels) plus free camping and admission and what not, and if we can get enough guys together I think it will be a blast.

I'm in, and willing to do a lot of the work, and both Mike in Kentucky and Chuck in Ohio have committed, with Troy being a solid maybe. All these guys are either on this forum or RCU or both.

So who can come to Ohio in August and bring your tanks, accessories, buildings, whatever?

This is the link to the show site (very cool stuff, and at least these guys are smart enough to know what was missing - Tanks!!)

and this is the thread at RCU concerning the invitation for us to participate

I've spoken by phone to the Director of the Show, Brian, and he seems pretty cool and really wants some tanks there this year (and possibly from now on if things go well). A 1/16 display is where I'll be primarily focused, but we also could really use some larger scale tanks. Mike is talking about bringing his 1/6 scale Sherman and Tiger, and anyone else with a large scale tank or two is more than welcome. In fact, we'll actually bug you until you agree to come play with us! :)

This can not only be a lot of fun, it can be a real opportunity for us to promote the hobby. We all talk about how we want to promote RC Tanking and help to expand the hobby, well here's a chance to actually do more than talk and I'm not going to miss it. I hope you guys will feel the same way and join me this summer for a truly great experience. They'll not only have RC aircraft and tanks, but full size stuff as well, from aircraft to halftracks. Hell, it will be worth it just to meet me! The Greatest Hippie on the Face of the Earth! (no ego here!) :)
