What is F3A?
Precision Aerobatics at the Highest Level
F3A is the international class for radio-controlled precision aerobatics. Pilots fly a prescribed sequence of complex maneuvers in front of a panel of judges, where every line, radius, roll, correction, and position matters. The airplanes are purpose-built. The margins are small. At the World Championship level, precision is everything.

Defending World Champions
Team USA Is Going Back as World Champion
At the 2025 FAI F3A World Championship in Muncie, Indiana, Team USA won the team world championship and Andrew Jesky captured the individual world title. In 2027, the next chapter moves to South Korea.
The 2027 campaign is dedicated to the memory of Linda and Tim Jesky. Read their tribute →
Why Support Matters
Getting to the World Stage Takes a Team
Competing for the United States requires far more than airfare. The team must transport highly specialized aircraft and support equipment, travel together, practice before the event, and cover lodging, ground transportation, meals, entry costs, uniforms, and the logistics that come with competing halfway around the world.
Support from the model aviation community, individual donors, and corporate partners helps reduce the cost carried by the pilots and gives Team USA the resources to arrive prepared to compete.
