Purpose To promote camaraderie among vintage aircraft enthusiast. ACE Transmitters invited This is the fifth year the KBVF encompasses a new venue. Since ACE RC sold out to Thunder Tiger the RC world lost an innovative resource. ACE produced many different products during their tenure from the 1953 to approximately 1998. The KBVF this year is inviting anyone with an ACE transmitter to come fly with us. The transmitter is any transmitter produced by the original ACE company up through and including the ACE MicroPro8000. Additionally, any MicroStar2000 is also included regardless of the case used to house the electronics. Modified ACE transmitters are included regardless of the electronics in the ACE case. Additionally, any transmitter produced by ACE in complete or kitted form qualifies. If ACE electronics are used in any non ACE case, it qualifies. The ACE controlled aircraft does not have to be a vintage aircraft. Any SAMs aircraft are invited to attend. SAMs planes included Dates The dates this year, May 25 & 26 are a Friday and Saturday. Headquarters Motel There will not be a preferred motel and no blocked rooms. Most attendees have stayed at the Sleep Inn. Be sure to ask for AAA, AARP discounts etc. These will probably give you the same rate as blocked rooms would anyway. See the motel list in this document. GPS coordinates of places of interest.
