This event was the biggest slalom competition organized in 2017. All task were flown over water on the Lake Byoum, near Cairo.

Excellent weather conditions allowed to run many slalom task as well as spot landings.

OZONE Team pilot Alex Mateos won the competition with a huge advance to other pilots. He was flying with the Viper 4 14.

Alex Mateos reports:

“I’m happy with the performance of my equipment, which helped me to win this competition. During the final task, we had a new challenge, we were asked to design our own slalom course which had to contain 10 turns around 6 pylons and 360 wing tip touch. We had to repeat it twice, as 2 task flown without landing. It was really challenging to focus and remember the course flown!”

The last stop of the 2017 PWC in Guayaquil, Ecuador, wrapped up after three valid tasks.
The race started under 100% cloud cover, that slowly improved and allowed the organizers to set a 61 km first task to the north. The second task saw a more open sky and a very interesting 67 km race to goal with concentric circles as the turn points were set. This gave different route options due to the different wind directions and a wide variety of topography to play with. During the last leg, the wind pushed pilots off the course line. This didn’t stop Honorin, who stormed ahead flying a more southerly line on his own, from getting to goal 7 minutes ahead of everyone else.

Low clouds forced the organizers to cancel the next three days of competition. Finally on Saturday the pilots got back in the air to race the final task. Very light conditions made it difficult at the start of the 64 km task, but the day brightened just at the right moment with lots of different routes that split the gaggles up. 48 pilots made goal, finishing Ecuador’s first ever World Cup.

The overall winner was OZONE R&D Team pilot, …read more

In his own words:

“It was an amazing week in La Reunion flying with all my friends, I enjoyed every battle, every jump from the helicopter. Nothing better than being in a competition with your family, jumping above a beautiful reef.
