Due to the low number of entries and lack of cash sponsorship, they are forced to cancel the scale helicopters part of Top Gun 2003. They only had 14 paid entries in three classes after extending the entry deadline, not enough in any of them to make it worthwhile. No cash sponsors came forward except for Superchips, and projected expenses could not be met.
