The F3N RC Helicopter Aerobatics Event, categorized under the FAI F3 class by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI), is one of the most challenging extreme sports in the world in terms of human-controlled competitive events. It is also a prominent project within the booming "low-altitude economy" industry in China. The operating techniques for this event were invented in the 1970s by the legendary American legend pilot Curtis Youngblood and later gained worldwide popularity. Through decades of promotion by generations of aviation model enthusiasts and competitions organized by the FAI F3C/F3N committees (such as the World Championships, European Championships, U.S. Championships Also 3D Masters, Global 3D, Thailand Heli Blowout, Heli Fest ), the event's standards have continuously risen, earning widespread admiration and enthusiasm among enthusiasts.
Event Patent: In 2015, Mr. Danny Wang (Wang Zhouhai) founded the international event Rotor Asia Masters, which has been successfully held seven times (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023, and 2024). The event was suspended in 2020-2022 due to the “Covid”. In 2024, the seventh edition was officially renamed Rotor Global Masters (RGM) and has completed the application for an international event trademark patent with the national authorities.
International Benchmark: RGM is now globally recognized as one of the largest RC helicopter aerobatics international events in terms of operations. The organizers have consistently awarded cash prizes to winning competitors, making it the only high-level commercial international RC helicopter competition in China with an independent IP. 2025 will mark the 10th anniversary of the event, attracting top pilots from around the world.
Through the event, the organizing committee invites domestic and international manufacturers of drones and aeromodels to participate, promoting the cutting-edge production and manufacturing technologies required in the low-altitude economy sector. The goal is to explore more collaboration opportunities and encourage enterprises to settle in our Qingbaijiang "Zhujiawan Low-Altitude Economy Industrial Park." By leveraging local resources, we aim to jointly develop higher-level international competitions, driving the growth of RC helicopter design and manufacturing industries while serving as a vital promotional platform.
The event also boosts the local "low-altitude economy development" and "tourism industry," allowing enthusiasts and competitors from around the world and across China to experience the region's cultural heritage and natural scenic attractions. The RGM competition has received strong support and recognition from various government units in Sichuan Province and is a sustainable, independent IP international brand event representative of the low-altitude economy industry. It is a key project supported by the local sports and culture authorities.
