  • HeliMasters 2015 Cancelled

    Some bad news for all RC helicopter enthusiasts.

    Translated using Google translate.

    Dear Sirs,

    As owner and the Heli Masters UG I would like to say that the announced event “Heli Masters 2015″ is hereby officially canceled in Munich.
    In recent weeks overtook me in talks with leading sponsors feedback that part of this Heli Masters is not supported in this year, as in previous years.
    Because the event is funded 90% by manufacturers, retailers and sponsors and I do not want to redeploy the entrance fees and thus to the audience the charge, there is no other way to go this route!
    To make matters worse, that has been developed by the independence of each federation, the time for preparation, promotion, communication and acquise becoming a full-time job.
    The remuneration for the time invested and the effort out of proportion. Personally, I did not go to the merits, but rather to push the event and thus our common hobby. This seems to me to be 2013 and 2014 in Europe quite successful with the largest RC helicopter events.
    I myself do not regret a minute I plugged in the event that website or the iPad / server software for evaluation.
    Therefore, I find it amazing that benefits the helper and my team were also false to various communication channels for no reason, trampled or even moved into bad light.
    No event in the world can only be implemented by the organizer alone. Therefore, I would like to thank my family and my closest friends, who have built me ​​again and gave me the strength to thank sincerely. However, I would like to emphasize figures like Albert Fruth, Andy Rummer, Randolph Maußner, Alexander belly, Dominik Haegele, Walter Meyer and the numerous participating over the years 2010-2014 80 volunteers of the event. Without you it would not have given this event in the form and would never have been brought as far.
    The numerous and caring 42 manufacturers, sponsors and distributors have made the event to that it once was. 385 pilots participated in competitions and FunFly’s and just over 15,000 spectators filled the grounds on site. No fewer than 142,000 viewers, we counted a total of at our live stream transmission.
    If and when I’ll hold an event with competition or something in another frame in the stars.
    The Heli Masters brand and website remain.
    In that sense, I wish you all a wonderful time with our hobby and always a hand’s breadth air under the rotor blades.

    Best regards

    Christoph Dietrich Heli Masters CEO

    So basically that means no manufacturers, shops, dealers or distributors are supporting the Heli-Masters in2015??

    I wonder why that is if it has been so successful??

    I smell a Rat!! It surely can't be simply down to the move to Munich!!... Can it??
    Happy Flying! Thanks - Dave

        I think events need to offer spectators more than just a competition to watch. Events like HeliFest, with a fun fly and Weston Park next to it are much more economically viable

          I agree with you, Weston is a decent show, but could be bettered by more shops attending, its sometimes the extortionate fees that put off a lot of trade people from attending....

            It's a very different sort of event to what we can out on at Weston Park. The world championships will always need to be that strict format and focused on the competition. HeliFest at Weston park is more about the fun and social gathering so gives us more freedom to get more pilots involved. I don't know what fees are for other events to attend, but Helifest is actually very cheap to attend with a 3m wide tent being only around £120 for the weekend. There's some
            excellent interest this year and looking like the trade line will be increasing for 2015

              I think the fees are insignificant compared to the logistics. For a vendor to set up shop at a show it means hauling stock across the country and paying staff to man it over the weekend. You need to sell quite a lot to break even.

                    That was the point I was trying to get across, I should have said costs... I will go and support the Weston show as always.

                      Having flown at the helimasters for the last 3 years , I can say that the crowds have dwindled , due to live streaming I guess .
                      however I think its the move back to Germany thats killed it off..............most of the trade and teams like Align are from the UK and its twice the difference to travel and I think its the lack of sponsors (trade) that have caused the cancellation.
                      I have said on my FB page and I say again I am , with all in the Girls United team , extremely grateful to Christoph and his team for the display time he gave us !

                      As for Girls united we will have a small team including Raquel Bellot at Helifest UK (weston park) so see you there :-)
