The 2008 Empire Hobby World Micro Heli Cup is now in its fourth year and has already
proven itself as a high profile show for the world’s best indoor micro helicopter pilots. Our
fourth annual event will take place on Saturday, October 18th and Sunday, October 19th
at the iHobbyExpo located in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont,
Illinois. Like last year, we expect great crowds, great media coverage, and lots of cash
and prizes to be given away.

As a previous competator in the last 4 years, Kyle Stacy placing 3rd last year, behind team mate Bobby Watts, this year has put stepped it up a few notches this year, taking the 1st place trophy for both the Micro (Gaui 200 sized), and the Mini (Trex 450 sized) classes, bringing in a whopping $2000 for his winnings, and a smile on his face as he gets on the airplane, with his two big 4 foot long checks.
