Mr. Jeff Gilley won this model tonight in the IRCHA Jamboree members only Grand Prize

This was valued at about $3500 and was a collaboration of many sponsors

Jeff even flew the model right after winning it!

If you've wondered about what you get for your IRCHA membership, this model could only be won by IRCHA members.

Congratulations Jeff!

I saw him this morning before I left and he was still excited and in shock. He had to check his car this morning to make sure he did not dream that he won it.

When I left this morning at 10:00am Jeff had 3 more flights on it and was grinning from ear to ear!!!
MIniture, Carey, Al and all the other great vendors that supplied parts for this beauty, raised the bar on IRCHA bar on a READY TO FLY Grand Prize. There were several other fully built prize helis but they all came with a "just needs..." disclaimer.

This baby was on the flight line, fueled up, and flying after a couple pulls on the motor in minutes after it was handed over to Jeff. Minitures own Team Gasser pilot "Beast" did the demo for Jeff.

Great job by all involved.
