Non-Championship Classes

The Non-Championship Scale Free Flight classes take place during the day. Saturday is Aeromodeller/Model Aircraft designs, Flying Only, at 11.00 – 12.00 with Outdoor Rubber Kit Scale from 14.00 – 15.00. Sunday is Open Scale, Flying Only, from 14.00 -15.00.
Any changes due to weather will be posted on the FF Control Van on the day, along with the flying location and any other information. Remember that the Scale FF classes are now on the separate Scale FF Nationals entry form.

The purpose of the Saturday classes is to encourage participation and stimulate interest, hence late entries may be submitted on the day prior to the start time of each contest. The rules for these classes are now in the 2017 BMFA Scale contest rule book. For details of appropriate models try the following websites:

The Contest Director will be Andrew Hewitt. If you have any questions, contact Andy on Andrew.Hewitt@Rolls-Royce.com
