Wicharid had ranked the fourth in 3DX contest in China, he kept practicing very hard in the past few months, consequently he improved so much that he even won the second in Thailand Royal Helicopter Contest recently. He was very good at F3C, for he used to be a F3C pilot of JR before attending KDS. In his opinion, his set manoeuvres was not as perfect as expected, in the second fly by making use of a yellow card, he got the third rank for his helicopter dropped due to the wind in the free fly contest.

KDS pilot Jaehong Lee was the most promising candidate for the champion, but he missed and only got the third place. It’s known as his battery was retained in Hongkong airport, the connect plug wasn't match well when he using the borrowed battery, his helicopter broke out and finally crashed in the yellow card fly.
