F3F Radio Control Soaring (Slope) World Cup
FAI F3F WORLD CUP 2021
The last year has been a year with very little activity on the competition side. The World Cup was cancelled and there is no official winner for 2020.
Lets have a try with 2021, regardless of the situation. Due to the pandemic, there are some issues with the official FAI event calendar. Some application did not publish properly, mostly because the system is not made for postponing such a large number of competitions without a template for that. This applies not only to F3F, but all competitions classes in aeromodelling.
Please use this calendar until the event calendar is running again.

I will try to keep this calendar up to date, as i suspect that some competitions will be postponed again. The pandemic is not over yet and we lay our trust in the available vaccines now.
We also managed to reuse the medals from last year, thanks to the big support from Stefan Fraundorfer, who contributes a lot with his knowledge and laser engraving technology. Thank you Stefan!
We will produce them on a short notice as we do not know if all competitions will be held.
If there are questions about anything regarding the situation in F3F, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards and stay safe!

F3F World Cup trophy
The new trophy for the World Cup competitions is finished and will be given to the winners of the FAI WorldCup competitions in F3F and F3K from 2018 on.
It is a collaboration between German, Czech and Austrian FAI supporters, with help and support from countries all over Europe. Truely it is a sign of the common goal that we all share, promoting and living the sport of aeromodelling.
The molds are a high-tech CNC-machined by a czech partner near Praha. The medal itself is traditionally handmade from a tin casting master in the beautiful mountain city of Freiberg in Germany (between Chemnitz and Dresden) and laser-engraved by a professional in Austria.
A big thank you goes out to all the known and unknown partners, that made this extraordinary medal possible.
