After a Judges training session and the Team Managers’ meeting, the Opening Ceremony of the 2025 FAI F3P World Championship for Indoor Aerobatic Model Aircraft saw local officials and spectators enjoying a parade, speeches and traditional Swiss Alphorn music on Sunday 2 February.
The most important F3P Aeromodelling event of 2025 – the FAI F3P World Championships for Indoor Aerobatic Model Aircraft starts this Sunday 2 February in Widen, Switzerland, where the world's best senior and junior pilots will put their precision aerobatic manoeuvres to the test in the hopes of gaining a place on the podium.
When an eight-year-old Thomas Schütz built his first aircraft alongside his father, little did he realise that the scene would be reproduced decades into the future, as he stepped into the father's role to help his own children to construct their first models.
The inclusion of air sports in The World Games is of paramount importance to FAI and the broader sporting community. Among the variety of disciplines represented, air sports play a crucial role, and in the next edition in August 2025 in Chengdu, China, Drone Racing will make a welcome return to the programme.
