Support Team USA
Help Send Team USA to Korea
Representing the United States at a World Championship is an honor. Getting the team, airplanes, equipment, and support crew to South Korea is also a major undertaking. Every contribution helps Team USA arrive ready to compete.
Where Support Goes
The Real Cost of Competing Abroad
Funds raised for Team USA help offset the real costs of international competition, including:
- Team travel to and from South Korea
- Oversize and specialized aircraft/equipment transportation
- Lodging and ground transportation
- Practice and preparation costs
- Team entry and event-related fees
- Team uniforms and presentation materials
- Meals and other essential on-site team expenses
Individual Support
Every Level Helps
You do not have to be an F3A pilot to be part of Team USA. Contributions from modelers, aviation fans, families, clubs, and friends help reduce the cost carried directly by the team. Every contribution comes with a Team USA thank-you gift.
Team USA F3A welcomes contributions and sponsorship support. Please review the payment page for the current contribution method and any applicable tax information.
Corporate Sponsorship
Put Your Brand Behind Team USA
Team USA offers companies a chance to align with a highly technical, international aviation competition built around precision, preparation, engineering, and performance. Sponsorship can include digital visibility, team apparel, aircraft and equipment branding, event content, social media, and custom activation opportunities.
We are building partnerships that make sense for both the team and the sponsor. If your company wants to be part of the road to Korea, we would like to talk.
Elite Donor Challenge Coin
100 Coins. One Velar.
Team USA is offering just 100 numbered Elite Donor challenge coins at $150 each. Once they are gone, they are gone.
Every coin carries its own number from 1 to 100, and every coin holder is entered in the Team USA F3A Foundation's Velar drawing. Before the 2027 U.S. Nationals, one winner will receive a ready-to-fly Hui Yang Velar biplane, fully trimmed and set up by Team USA.
No purchase or contribution is necessary to enter the drawing. Free entry instructions will be posted with the official rules; free entries have the same chance of winning as coin holders.
