HeliProz Inc. Announces 2012 Pilot Awards
BILLINGS, Mont. --(Business Wire)--
HeliProz
Inc. today announced the top three Team HeliProz pilots of 2012 in
their inaugural RC helicopter pilot mentorship program. Participating
pilots earn points throughout the year to qualify for prize recognition.
Points are earned by attending fun fly events, posting tips and tricks
on the Team
HeliProz website, publishing narrated videos using HeliProz products
and various other activities.
First place was awarded to Cade Ciripompa from New Hampshire in the
amount of $2,000, second place to Anthony Hensley from Georgia, $1,000
and third place to Raymond Underwood from Washington, $500. All prizes
are given in the form of gift certificates redeemable at HeliProz Inc.
"I was thrilled to win first place and have used my prize for both parts
and upgrades to my current helicopters. One of my favorite RC
helicopters is the Trex
700, both the electric and nitro versions, because they are a solid
machine and parts are readily available," said Cade Ciripompa, Team
HeliProz pilot. "The best part about being a Team HeliProz piot is
attending fun fly events and helping out others. We all wear HeliProz
shirts so we are visible to pilots looking for support as well as our
teammates. HeliProz is a great company. They ship fast, offer great
deals and you can call them directly if you have any questions about a
product. They provide friendly service and will talk you through a
product even if you didn't buy it from them. I'm looking forward to
being a team pilot again in 2013."
Launched in March of 2012, Team HeliProz provides mentorship to new RC
Helicopter pilots, promotes passion for the sport to other
enthusiasts and allows seasoned pilots to earn rewards. Approximately
130 pilots participated in 2012. The program has received more than 200
applicants for 2013.
"The mission of Team HeliProz is to help out the folks in this hobby who
have questions, whether they are new to the hobby, curious about a new
product or need assistance setting up their helicopters," said Kurt
Kreiger, general manager for HeliProz, Inc. "We know Team HeliProz is
successful when we hear our customers rave about the support they have
received from our pilots. If we can help people advance in this hobby
without getting bogged down by the many technical aspects of it, we're
doing our job."
2013 Team HeliProz Pilots will receive exclusive offers and everyday
discounts in addition to being eligible to win monthly prizes and each
quarter a chance to win a Miniature
Aircraft Whiplash kit of their choice (valued between $900 and
$1,050, depending on the style). Team HeliProz pilots also save an
additional 12% on all HeliProz products.
"I've been flying for more than 10 years and because I purchase HeliProz
products, wanted to become part of the team. Team pilots receive
excellent discounts in addition to having the opportunity to represent
HeliProz at events. I enjoy participating in fun fly events to help
others set up their equipment and connect with fellow enthusiasts. I
just found out that I won, so I'm going to bank my prize and use it when
I need it," said Anthony Hensley, Team HeliProz pilot.
