Hey all,
Just wondering if anybody on here is from ABQ, NM or somewhere around here.
Balloon Fiesta Time here and everyone knows that when the balloons come, the wind picks up. :wee:
Anyway, just checkin

the scene now that i am done with school.

Realizing that NM (The Land of Enchantment! :o ) is is biggish state, you might want to contact Big Mike to see if you can get contact info for Sean
S. Sean wrote a review on the HQ Neos II posted on Big Mike's (TX) site, but he hails from NM.
Older thread, but you might trying contacting some of the flyers that posted to it via U2U and/or check their profiles to see when they were last
on PKF.
ATB,
Sam

anyone know if soccer players are taking over balloon fiesta park in the weekday evenings? Was hoping to run out there tomorrow and try out some new
gear.
i'm usually in a maroon pathfinder or blue/grey honda odyssey. also, where do we get key cards these days? last one i got was quite a while ago at the
parks and rec headquarters.

To avoid scrutiny and third degree questions just tell them you are R/C enthusiast.
Must present- home / apt liability ins policy, or R/C membership card.

Balloon fiesta still the go to place? I've flown there, at the park between osuna/spain(by wyoming) and monzano mesa park.

I saw someone breaking down on saturday afternoon at monzano mesa park. He had a kite and buggy. Didn't get a chance to chat with him before he booked
out.
in other news, that park is entirely too small when there is anybody around, especially stupid people that think standing downwind of a large kite,
just before launch, is a good idea.

I'm in Albuquerque... Always wanted to try a buggy... Atm I'm limited to my 4 kites, a mountain board, and a kite board for the water... Or my
stand-up paddle board when I'm being lazy...
I haven't tried Balloon Fiesta Park, usually use Mariposa Park (a 10 minute walk for me) or head out to Cochiti
Anyone want to setup a time/place to meet-up and fly at some point?
