Airshows attract spectatorsEvery year, there are numerous shows with aircraft controlled from the ground. At these events, pilots control their machines with the same professional skill as their colleagues sitting in real cockpits. These airshows provide excellent insights into the variety and unlimited scope for imagination of aeromodelling. Unlike official World Championships and other competitions, such shows are able to attract tens of thousands of spectators who are not only interested in flying but always show great enthusiasm for the creativity and tremendous spectacle being displayed.

2013 Rankings in Canopy Formations
Thursday, 21 March 2013 11:05
With a First Category Event only being held every other year, persistence pays and there is no change in the top 3 places, even though France swept the board with gold medals in Dubai. Ukraine, Italy, the Czech Republic and Argentina entered the competition for the first time. In 4-Way Rotations Russia retains 1st place, with France 2nd and Belarus 3rd, so no change; but both China and Argentina enter for the first time. 4-Way Sequential had low participation in Dubai, unlike all the other disciplines – again dominated by the “big” players with USA retaining their 1st position, and France overtaking Russia to 2nd place, leaving Russia in 3rd. The latest ranking lists can be found under "Documents"- "Rankings" - "2013". 2013 FAI World Championship for Aerobatic Model Aircraft in Coburg, Germany
