The QuikR won gold and silver in the World Air Games 09 beating all comers in the pylon races posting fastest times in all heats and the final. Congratulations to Rob Grimwood, Chris Saysell for Gold and Rob and Rees Keene for Silver. The aircraft used were standard QuikRs competing against purpose built aircraft with much larger engine power. Both teams flew their aircraft from England to the event in Italy, including a crossing of the Alps, and launched straight into their winning ways. Congratulations also to Paolo Rossi & Maurizio Vanzini for bringing their Quik winged Rossi trike into 3rd position making a clean sweep for P&M Aviation wings.
