Report and Pictures Coming Soon!!

The BMFA, like many organisations, recognises  today's young people are tomorrow's aeromodellers. Many of us experienced the thrill of building and flying our creations in our youth only to give it up because of other commitments such as family or education. However, the seed was sown even if it did germinate much later in life when time and finance permitted.

The Education Programme, which has been running since 1989, has one aim; to give every young person the opportunity to build and fly at least one model aircraft, thereby sowing that seed. To achieve this the BMFA provides a simple range of kits at very low cost which form the backbone of our model aircraft workshops and runs the Schools Flight Challenge.. These are designed to meet young peoples' requirements up to secondary education but are complemented by the University Challenge, a radio controlled aircraft payload competition, which is for undergraduate students.

The Education Programme is constantly under review and is currently seeking to introduce a basic control line trainer which is cheap and effective.
