FAIR - Great Britain's International Space Modelling group

Competition rocketry and space modelling is one of the fastest growing aeromodelling sports. It is governed by a set of rules published by the FAI, the world air sports federation, and competitions take place all over the world. The FAI runs a World Championship every two years and continental championships (Europe, Asia etc.) take place in the years when a World Championship is not scheduled. In addition World Cup events are run around the world throughout the year with top competitors competing to become the world's number one in their selected events.

Space modelling has until recently been dominated by the Russians and Eastern Europeans. FAIR is the UK group that has formed as a specialist body of the BMFA (British Model Flying Association) to organise competition space modelling events in the UK and to put together a team to compete in International events around the world. Over the four years of FAIR's existence we have developed the skills and models to be competitive in international events. Our chairman Mike Francies has already won a world championships gold medal and for the 2008 world championships we will be sending a team of 12 competitors and team managers.

.If you are interested in getting involved in competition space modelling or seeing them fly, then do contact us and we will arrange for you you to come to one of the events FAIR organises around the UK during the summer season.
