HeliStorm has teamed up with IRCHA and completely reimagined how scale helicopters are represented at the IRCHA Jamboree — and how competition in the scale community should be run.
For as long as most of us can remember, the rules for competing in scale helicopter contests were rigorous and intimidating. We have changed all of that.
On the flying side, judging has always been a bit opaque. Current rules also lack a standardized and objective method to reward pilots who perform more difficult maneuvers.
HeliStorm convened a panel of experts to create a brand new set of competition classes and judging factors — so everyone can challenge themselves in competition.

Designed for pilots to showcase smooth, fundamental flight control. Challengers can fly anything other than a GPS-controlled model. Gyros are fine; we just want to see YOU flying the model. No experience threshold. The flying rubric is subject to subtle change up until competition time. However, pilots can expect to perform 5 mandatory maneuvers, which will include scale liftoff and hover component, a horizontal fly-by, scale descent and touchdown and basic turning maneuvers. Pilots will perform 2 freestyle maneuvers, which they can choose from a catalog within the LiveJudge app. |
