2015 Port St Lucie Helicopter Snackdown
The weekend has come to a close and another helicopter fun fly is entered into the books. The 2015 Port St Lucie Helicopter Smackdown. The event is normally a two day event, but this year they stretched it to three days. November 6,7, and 8th 2015. I was unable to attend on Friday ( due to work) but I was there on Saturday and Sunday. The event was bigger than it has ever been, and there were a lot of top local and world class pilots there to show their abilities.
There were quite a few event sponsors as well, who donated lots of really nice prizes to be given away in the pilot raffle. Bavarian Demon, Zeal Blades, Rotary wing RC, Byron fuels, Gaui, Castle Creations, Charity RC Demon Aero just to name a few.
Saturday was the busiest day, and the flight stations were full all day. Everyone had a great time and I only know of 2 or 3 crashes during the whole weekend. Sunday was a typical last day of the fun fly, and most of the crowd didn`t return. But those of us who did, had a great time and enjoyed open flight stations all day.
We were also allowed unlimited use of the RC short course truck/buggy track witch is about 100 yards behind the flying field. My husband and I had a blast running our 1/10 scale trucks on the track, and hanging out with the racers.
A big thank you goes out to Courtney, Todd, and everyone else who helped to plan and organize the event. Without all of their hard work and dedication, there would not be a Port St Lucie Helicopter Smackdown.
We always have a great time there, and I am already looking forward to next year.
