Circumgyration 2007 event information

This is the 7th year that I have organized this event and this year I was yet again pleased to have pilots and visitors from more than 12 countries. We had great diversity in full scale visiting helicopters and again this year we were elated to have full scale helicopter rides. This hasn't happened every year and we are very fortunate to have them at al. Thanks to all of our full scale pilots who could attend.

Although I put in most of the effort to organize this event, I could not do without the generous assistance from the Bayside R/C Club whom I have been a member of for many years. We are on borrowed time and each year that goes by and we still have this amazing field and club located in heart of Silicon Valley, it is a true blessing. A big thank you to all the volunteers and individuals who donated their time and sometimes their sanity to help run the events, frequency board, food vendors, and all of the running around during the event.

I would like to thank Model Helicopter World and RunRyder for attending our event and look forward to your photographs, videos and commentary over our 3 day event. This year's gallery we have used contributing photographers and I would to thank you for your permission to post your photos on our website. In alphabetical order, Alvaro Elneser, Antonio Genovia, Perry Kavros, Nick Lygizos and Gonzalo Martinez.
