Texas Cloud Climbers 68th annual Regional FF Championships On September 26th and 27th the TEXAS CLOUD CLIMBERS held the 68TH ANnual Regional FF Championships at the Robson Ranch Site outside of Denton Texas. The CD was Jan Langelius and their were approx 30 pilots registered for the various events the were being held. The club had a great day of weather for flying. This was the first FreeFlight event that I was able to sit and enjoy both the change of pace in flying and the laid back comfortable atmosphere. The people, the club were an awesome group to visit.If anyone that flys RC does not sit down and really look at this type of flight you will never know the amount of work and design that goes into It. A great event and you have to go watch or participate.
