Alan Szabo Jr. and Danny Szabo have joined the Avant Team with Alan Szabo Sr. as the new Team Manager. This news comes as 3D Masters is only a few weeks away. The Szabo's will fly the new Aurora which uses the Avant Programmable Head, first seen in upgrade form and the helicopter is very slim with a low frontal area, which should make it very slippery. The model has been designed with a low parts count, making it easy to repair and maintain.

The standard, based on the successful 3D Masters format, will allow entrants to choose 6 Set Manoeuvres from the current set of 30 3D Masters Set Manoeuvres coupled with a Freestyle sequence. The structure also lends itself to Electric Indoor events and employs a peer-judging system at its simplest level, rising to one or more 3D Masters Judges presiding over higher-level events.
