We’re delighted to announce that British Model Flying has a new WORLD CHAMPION!
Neil Allen, has been crowned World Champion in the Free Flight class of F1C, following the culmination of the championships which have been taking place in Salonta, Romania.
Team GBR has been competing against 22 other nations in the F1C (engine assisted gliders) class. The models, which weigh approximately 450 grams, have no radio control and the sole object of the flight is duration. A short engine run which is limited to just 4 seconds, climbs the aircraft at a great rate before it then converts into a slow-flying, high-performance glider. A unique challenge in both design and execution.
From all of us at the BMFA, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Neil and the rest of Team GBR! A superb result and one the whole model flying nation can be incredibly proud of!
