Free flight models

FAI F1 classes, the heart of Polish sport aeromodelling

Free Flight is a competition discipline in which the model flies on its own after being released from the hand or tow line. The result depends on trim precision, build quality and the ability to read thermals. Models are split into rubber powered, internal combustion, electric and glider types.
