The Orlando Helicopter Blowout 2009 was a success! We had close to 220 registered pilots and about 500 spectators. The winner of the grand prize donated by Heli Wholesaler was John Green from Orlando, Florida. We also had many pro pilots from all over the world and great sponsors. Media coverage was abundant with Mark Ryder from http://www.runryder.com/, Derrick Threatt from http://www.rcheliresource.com/ and Chuck Bassani from RC Heli Magazine.

The 3D contest went very well, for result scores, please click here.

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including Carey Shurley, David Jeffery, Mike Fortin, Jose Soto and all the TORCHS and RCACF volunteers.

We look forward to doing this again in 2010!
