History
3D Masters was conceived by an amateur British radio controlled helicopter pilot named Jeff Barringer who realized that there was a need for a competition for pilots flying in the (then) new '3D' style. The first event was held in July 2001. From 2002 to 2008, the event was held at Northampton University in England. The Northampton, England events were notorious for unfavorable weather in which long rain delays were typical.
The 2009 3D Masters was held at Mosa Trajectum Golf Resort in Murcia, Spain.
Visitors from the rest of the World are welcome. Pilots, Sponsors and Spectators stay in accommodation at the 3D Masters site and make a weekend from the event. It gives an opportunity to socialize and share ideas with other like-minded people. Evening events are held for this reason.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
