I am the club contest director and a CD and want to put on heli fun fly event similar to the events used at airplane fun flys. anyone have some ideas for a heli fun fly events?

Oh yeah.

Bowling.......drag a plastic chain with a ball to get strikes
Limbo
Chase the ball........make a ball move through a goal X times in 2 minutes only using the rotor wash.
Autorotations
Drags
Scale flight
Bambi bucket competition
Pick up X with the skids and drop in a circle....timed event
Obstacle course....timed.
Precision hovering......hard for experts, easy for good beginners.
Bomb drops.

And on and on and on. Have fun, the work begins now.

skill level of the pilots usually makes the choices easier but the most common ones are drag racing, limbo or lowest high speed pass and spot landing autos.

kc

I thought up a few for our fly in but one person signed up for the drag races and everyone pretty much just wanted to talk, fly and have fun.

In case you guys haven't noticed, there is now a Heli Event Forum to post events to and discuss them. I requested this and they have added it but I don't see any events posted there yet. If you have an event posted on the calendar, it would be a good idea to post it there too. That way you can give details and allow others to ask questions and make comments.

If you use "My Forums" you may not have noticed that this category has been added.
