These guys did a great job competing, the flying was outstanding, no miss-haps in spite of the windy conditions.  I think the judges did a superb job, Thanks David DeWitt, Kevin Stoltz, David McGirt and Dee Miller.  Peter Wales did a demo flight with his turbine Lama on Sunday Morning, very nice.

This years event was surrounded by great weather, and a great time by all who attended.  The addition of the scale contest within a larger "Fun-Fly" offers an opportunity for every level of helicopter pilot.  This event will continue to grow, and the scale portion in time will become a significant event on it's own merits.  The unique configuration of the IRCC complex allows for this unique arrangement to be possible.  Regardless if you are a novice, the most experienced FAI or 3D expert or a "scale guy", there will always be plenty of room for you at the IRCC "Heli Spectatular".  Dates for next years event will be released soon.
