Focus on Competition - 2009/09

WORLD CHAMPS: This month I’ll keep
it short and sweet. We are finalizing all the
preparations for the 2009 F3C Helicopter
World Championships, to be held here at
the National Flying Site in Muncie,
Indiana.
Competition flying will begin on
Wednesday August, 5 at 8:00 a.m. and
conclude Tuesday August 11. It will be
open to the membership and public.
If you’ve ever wanted to see “world
class” helicopter pilots, here’s your chance.
You should make plans to attend the
Championships and also take in or
participate in the IRCHA Jamboree, which
follows the Worlds.
I will be back next month with a full article
dealing with some new safety issues and a
further discussion on the status of
frequency use.
See you at the Helicopter World
Championships. MA
