About
BUILT BY HELI PILOTS,
FOR HELI PILOTS.
One home for RC helicopter events — register in two taps, run check-in three ways, auto-fill the official AMA Form 10, and put your sponsors on a live podium. Funflys, speed cups, 3D throwdowns, scale meets: a real page for every event, a real profile for every pilot, real visibility for every sponsor.
What you get
The group text, the Venmo handle, the clipboard, and the Saturday-night spreadsheet — replaced by one page.
For decades, running a heli event meant a Facebook post, a pen at the field, and a pile of cash to reconcile after dark. It worked — barely. RCHeliEvents keeps everything that already works (yes, including cash at the gate) and fixes everything that leaked. Here's what that looks like for you.
to register once your profile is set
the official AMA Form 10, auto-filled
to sign up and start your Hangar
For pilots
Sign up once. Then just fly.
Set up your profile and Hangar one time, and every future event is a two-tap registration. Pay how you want, install it on your phone, and let your signed waiver follow you from event to event.
Register once, register forever
Your name, AMA #, city/state, and signed waiver live on your profile. Your tenth event sign-up takes about ten seconds — no clipboard, no re-typing, no pen.
Your Hangar, on file
Save your fleet once and pick which helis you're bringing in two taps. Your builds feed the public Models Flying chart that sponsors check before they commit.
Pay the way the hobby pays
Reserve your spot without paying a cent online. Settle up at the gate with cash, Venmo, PayPal, or check — your row matches reality either way.
Lock in the early rate
Prices can step up as an event fills. You always pay the price in effect the day you register, so signing up early saves you money — and the event page shows the next step-up.
Find events near you
Browse a grid, a month calendar, or a live map. Share your location or drop a ZIP and a radius to see what's flying close by, nearest first.
Install it like an app
Add it to your home screen — no App Store. Your registrations and the flying-fields directory work offline at the field, with push reminders the day before.
For organizers & CDs
Run the event, not the spreadsheet.
Publish in minutes, take registrations and add-ons, check pilots in three different ways, and hand AMA HQ a Form 10 you didn't fill out by hand. One admin console for every event you run.
Own your event — no club required
Create an event and you're its Contest Director. A club is an optional host you can tag for help; you never need to own one to run a great event.
Publish in minutes
Type the venue and your event pins itself on the public map. Drag the pin onto your exact flying site — even private fields a map search would never find.
Price it your way
Registration types with their own prices and caps, date-based price steps to reward early sign-ups, and add-ons for merch and meals with per-size variants.
Three ways to check pilots in
Pre-registered pilots, a walk-up form you fill for them, and a big-target kiosk mode for self-serve at the desk — all feeding one roster. Mark paid in any method.
The official AMA Form 10, filled in
For sanctioned events, download the real Form 10 with every paid pilot's name, AMA #, signature, age class, and aircraft flags already on it. No clipboards.
Run sponsors like a pro
Add sponsors you line up in person, approve what comes in, and keep the podium tidy with remove / restore / delete. Export the whole roster to CSV any time.
For sponsors
Grab the Gold.
Sponsorship here is a live competition, not a line item. Back the events you love with cash or product, climb a podium that's always beatable by a dollar, and get visibility you can actually see.
Positional Gold / Silver / Bronze
Tiers aren't fixed thresholds — they're positions. Top the current holder by a single dollar and the spot is yours. We email them the moment you do.
Cash or product — value is value
Back an event with money, gear, or both. They compete in the same ranking, so a $5,000 product donation outranks a $1,500 cash sponsor.
Real visibility, not a logo on a poster
Hold Gold and your logo rides a floating card across the whole event page, linked to your site. A running sponsorship total sits on every event.
Claim your brand
Find your business in the searchable, ranked sponsor directory and claim it — no duplicate to build. Any credit an organizer already recorded comes with it.
Sponsor as a team
A brand can be shared by a whole team and one person can run several brands, with a switcher to pick who you're backing an event as.
Stay competitive all season
Because the top spot is always beatable by a dollar, sponsorship stays a live contest — the leader keeps watching who's about to bump them.
Why it's different
Four things a generic events tool will never do for heli pilots.
Heli-only, on purpose
Not a generic RC-aviation site with a helicopter checkbox. Every page, form, and roster is shaped around how heli funflys, 3D throwdowns, speed cups, and scale meets actually run.
Digital sign-up, paper check-in
Pilots register from their phones; you walk the official AMA Form 10 to the field already filled out. The bridge between online and the gate that the hobby was missing.
Every event, archived forever
Event pages stay live for good — photos, sponsor list, final pilot count, Models Flying chart. Annual events link to last year's automatically. The hobby's permanent record.
It tells pilots what changed
Registration confirmed, event cancelled, a day-before nudge — pilots who install the app get a push, so nobody drives to a field for an event that moved.
Straight with you
Live today — and getting better weekly.
We're in open beta: pilot-built, pilot-tested, shipping fixes in hours. Everything below marked Live now is in your hands today.
Pilot accounts, Hangar & two-tap registration

Online card payments
Pilot fees, meal tickets, and cash sponsorships paid by card, flowing straight to the organizer — with cash, Venmo, and check always staying first-class.
