The First Edition of RC Show 2012 took place last weekend at the Fuencarral Track in Spain. With typical Spanish sunny weather, this Open International event brought the top national drivers in this category as well as those from other countries. RC Show´12 was a three day event, with controlled practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the mains on Sunday. Also on Saturday evening after the qualification rounds, Mike Truhe and Kevin Gahan from TLR put on a great exhibition with the Losi 5T while Spanish pilot Julio Memba also put on a 3D helicopter exhibition for the crowds. Portuguese driver Miguel Matias topped qualifying and was TQ on Saturday but after Sunday’s semi finals it was the Spanish driver and current European champion Robert Batlle who put his Mugen in the top position and would go on to win, followed by TLR´s Mike Truhe with Agama driver Dani Vega completing the podium.
