Welcome to the online home of the Saskatoon Heli Annual Gathering 2009, or... SHAG '09
Plans are under way for the fifth annual Saskatoon Heli Annual Gathering. This event will be held on the May 2 / 3rd weekend, at the HCRCC field. Our goal is to get as much of the heli community out of hibernation, and ready for the summer. This is a non-competitive event geared towards promoting our hobby, friendship, and fun. This is a great event for newcomers to the R/C Helicopter Hobby, to learn, get assistance, or just see a wide variety of equipment and talent. Talent is by no means a requirement.We encourage those just starting, or those that have been out of flying for a while, to pack up your helis and head to SHAG '09. There will be experienced pilots onsite to help you with setup, tips on hovering, forward flight, and more. Whether you fly nitro birds, or electrics, there will be something for you at SHAG.
Fri. noon-6pm - HCRCC field gate will be opened by noon if you want to do any fine tuning before the official start. The field is still open for all HCRCC members until Sat., so be sure to use the frequency board. You can use the stub runways at either end for takeoff, hovering, and landing if there are planes in the air. Absolutely NO 3D flight allowed in the stub areas.
Fri. 8:30p-10:30p - Registration and Indoor SHAG 09 Kick-off Electric Fly at the Ramada Golf Dome.
NOTE: There will be a size limit for the electric helis you can fly in the dome. Nothing bigger than a Trex 450 or using more than a 350mm blade please. Safety is our #1 concern. The bigger electrics can fly at the field on Sat. and Sun.
Sat. 9a - 6p - Registration (for those who didn't register already at the indoor fly), followed by open flying.
Sat. 6p - The Steak BBQ.
Sat. 7p - ??? Flying / Night-flying / Glow dancing?????
Sun. 9a - 12p - Open flying.
