IRCHA Jamboree 2026: IRCHA Cup Expert Class, part 2!

08/17/2026

The Scale Helicopter Area was a BIG hit at the 2026 IRCHA Jamboree.

The Scale tent is a must-see every year for me, and based on the turnout this year, we're thinking we're going to need a bigger tent next year. Who agrees?

A huge thank you to all the Scale pilots who brought their helicopters and participated in demos before the IRCHA Cup competitions on Friday and Saturday. Your time and effort helped make the Scale area one of the highlights of the Jamboree.

If you see yourself in these photos, tag yourself — and share your helicopter's details in the comments. We'd love to know what you brought to the Jamboree!

For everyone who said something about the lack of Porta Potties at the Jamboree, I deeply apologize.

When everyone left and I drove down to Center Stage this morning, I realized that the rental company had NOT delivered the 14 standard (blue) Porta Potties I had ordered. There were some AMA rentals already here, and among all the chaos I just didn’t realize the additional ones were missing.

I am mortified. I literally remember telling someone, “How can there not be enough? There are over 30 of them!” Hahahaha… 🤦‍♀️

Well…now I know how.

I sincerely apologize to everyone who was inconvenienced. This will NEVER, NEVER happen again. You can bet I will personally be counting every single Porta Potty first thing Tuesday morning next Jamboree.

Again I am so sorry, for the inconvenience it caused everyone.
