Last year’s Toledo Bus trip was the most successful trip we’ve had to date, with 52 seats being filled. It was a great crowd and a fun time! And all signs point to this year being even more successful and fun.
As with last year, we are again stopping at the K-Mart in Clio, to pick up folks from that area. See the Itinerary below for the timetable, as well as directions.
Just like last year, I am anticipating a sellout bus for this year's Trip. We didn't quite hit it in the end, but it was very close (54 passengers is a sellout). As with every year, we have secured a 56-passenger coach from our good friends at Blue Lakes Charters. To ensure you get a seat on the bus, early registration is a must.
The price of the trip has gone up to $55.00 this year, due to rising fuel costs. Thankfully, it's not up much over last year's trip - I am hopeful that the extra three dollars is not a deal-breaker to anyone intent on going.

We will again be emphasizing e-mail over traditional mail this year. Thank you to those of you who selected e-mail as their primary contact method last year. So if you have e-mail capabilities, please let us know, and it will help to keep the costs of postage and paper down.
Last year, we started taking payment over the web via PayPal. It was such a success that we will be bringing that back this year as well. If you would like to submit your payment through the web, head to the "Trip Registration" link above. As mentioned, we’re using PayPal for this, but you don’t need a PayPal account to use it. Simply enter your credit or debit card information, and it will get you signed up.
Please note that you can only pay online if you register online as well. Please do not pay online if you are using the registration form on the back of the flyer.
Bind-N-Fly is much more than just another category or completion level of RC aircraft, like ARF or RTF. It's a revolution in ready-to-fly convenience that RC enthusiasts everywhere have been waiting for. A revolution that is only possible because of Spektrum 2.4 DSM technology.
One Transmitter Endless Possibilities
With a single Spektrum or JR DSM aircraft transmitter you hold the key to the whole world of Bind-N-Fly aircraft that includes everything from tiny Blade helicopters to powerful ParkZone warbirds. That's because all Bind-N-Fly aircraft come out of the box with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM receiver built-in. All you have to do is:
Choose a Bind-N-Fly airplane or helicopter
Bind it to your DSM aircraft transmitter
Fly!
New Bind-N-Fly aircraft are appearing all the time from the biggest names in RC flight such as E-flite, ParkZone and Blade.
Be With the One You Love
If you've already invested in a sophisticated Spektrum or JR DSM aircraft transmitter, you're probably reluctant to fly with anything else. After all you've got the stick tension just the way you want it, you know where all the switches are and you love the programming features. For you, your DSM transmitter is as much a part of your flying enjoyment as what you fly with it.
Used to be, enjoying the fun and convenience of ready to fly meant having to use a multitude of different transmitters. That is unless you were willing to risk an aircraft's warranty by swapping out receivers or crystals so you could use your favorite transmitter. Bind-N-Fly makes it possible to have all kinds of exciting ready-to-fly experiences using the DSM aircraft transmitter you've become attached to. No new control configurations or ergonomics to get used. No extra transmitters taking up space in your field box. If you're a one radio pilot, this is ready to fly the way you always dreamt it could be.
Don't Pay for What You Don't Need
Bind-N-Fly aircraft reduce the cost of ready-to-fly fun because they don't include a transmitter that you don't need. You only get the airplane or heli you're interested in and any accessories necessary to get it flying. You'll save money and space on your transmitter shelf at the same time.
Discover the Precision of DSM
Maybe you don't have a DSM aircraft transmitter yet and have been looking for a reason to make the jump. Bind-N-Fly aircraft are the ideal reason to invest in the unparalleled precision and response of a Spektrum or JR 2.4GHz DSM system. And there's a system for every budget and experience level, from the unbelievably affordable Spektrum DX5e 5-channel transmitter all the way up to the amazing JR 12X 12-channel system.
