April 13 -14, Toledo, OH

ETOC Winner

ETOC has quickly gained a reputation as one of the hobby's greatest indoor electric contests. Over two dozen of the world's top pilots earned invitations to the 4th annual event, held April 13-14 in Toledo, Ohio.

On the first night, competitors flew two rounds of specific maneuvers plus one freestyle. Judges then narrowed the field to ten finalists – a short list that included three Team Futaba pilots.

The top ten battled for even bigger honors the next night. More elimination rounds cut the field to three. Team Futaba pilot, John Glezellis was among them…and after one final freestyle round, he stood alone as the 2007 ETOC champion!

Congratulations to John for his impressive achievement. The results speak for themselves: Futaba is the name you can count on for winning performance!
