Free Flight event at the 2026 Scale World Championship

[g_kandylakis]

The FAI World Scale Championship is going to take place in a few days, from 9/7 until 18/7 at the BMFA center in Buckminster UK.

This is for F4C and F4H classes of radio controlled scale models as well as for F4B control line scale models.

It is expected to be a great event with a record number of entries and countries participating.

As described above, it really does not belong in the usual contents of this forum. However, parallel to the main events, a semi-official free flight event is also planed, in order to show one more aspect of scale aeromodelling and this is the event that is of more interest to us.

The entry list has been published on the champs website, plenty of familiar names. Mostly GBR entries plus a GRE one. I will be attending the event as a static judge for RC but the opportunity to fly a free flight model there was too good to miss.

So, this is the announcement, pictures and more will follow.
