Geoff Seabrook writes...
"The BMFA space modelling championships have been held for 5 years at various sites around the UK normally combined with a round of the FAI World Cup (the Canterbury Cup). This year SpaceCom has decided to separate the FAI classes and combining the UK nationals with UKRA at Heckington on June 11th and 12th. We hope to greatly increase the number of competitors by making the classes more accessible to all club flyers.
Only UK certified motors may be used, classes such as streamer and helicopter are open design, and a D altitude class has been added.
The full list of classes to be flown is as follows:
- Streamer - 5Ns
- Parachute (Lamprey) - 2.5Ns
- Helicopter - 5Ns
- Egg Loft - 10Ns
- OddRoc - Max 160Ns
