Heli Masters 'advanced class' took place in Nordlingen, Bavaria, Germany this year. At the same time a funfly was held so the visitors of the event could even fly their own helis there! It was really a great and successful event.
Our congratulations go out to the winners of the event: 1st Mirko Cesena from Italy, 2nd Michael Wisbacher from Germany, 3rd Marius Müller, also from Germany
It was really close between the top three competitors, they fought an impressive battle. With each flight they showed even more and so it was exciting to the end.
Team Mikado was very successful, which can be put down to Mikado supporting especially young talents. Of course the material also has great leverage: only with reliable and precisely working equipment you can complete hundreds of necessary training flights as well as the competions successfully, and only concentrate on your flying.
The 27 contestants were using seven different flybarless systems, we have provided a graph showing the spread of different systems (source):
Almost all the pilots who are not bound by sponsorship are using VBars, especially the Silverline 5.3 system.
Our VBar seminar was also a great success, our thanks go out to all the visitors who were paying very attentatively! The next time we will have to provide a larger seminar tent, with more than 80 people already this time!
