HeliStorm 2025 is about aviation. Our aim is to introduce STEM students and faculty to the amazing world of scale radio helicopters and invite aviation industry partners into that realm so that all three groups (pilots, schools & aviation professionals) can work together to foster growth in both model and full scale aviation.

Students, spectators and media will be treated to a world class display of radio control helicopters with opportunities to meet the builders and pilots of these amazing machines. Members of the aviation profession will be able to meet the next generation of pilots, engineers, & mechanics.
