FAI delt with aeromodelling for the first time at the 1935 Dubrovnik Conference when the Aero Club of France proposed a first set of rules to cover national and international records. The first ever world record, called international records at that time, to be recognised was a duration of 7 minutes and 36 seconds set by Mr. Gabriel Robert from France on 13 September 1936. This record was set using a free flight model with extensible motor in what was at that time 'Category A' (hand launched models).
Since then, hundreds, if not thousands of world records have been set, pushing the capabilities of model aircraft beyond limits nobody would have dreamt of some decades ago. Model aircraft have flown for more than 30 hours, reached altitudes in excess of 8000 metres and covered distances of more than 1300 km.
