FAQ

When can I arrive?

Answer: You can arrive from Friday the 4th of July onwards. Registration will open Friday the 4th of July.

Can I test fly my model at FOA?

Answer: Yes, you certainly can except for during the RC Public Display Airshow on 12th July.

When at registration, please notify the event organisers of any models that you plan on test flying along with informing of models that will require a heavy model or turbine model inspection to take place.

Before you test fly your model, please notify the event organisers along with the flight line officer at the time so event organisers can follow up the signed paperwork for the heavy model/turbine model after it has flown.

Do I need to pre-register?

Answer: Yes, you do.

Please do not just arrive at the event and ask to participate. There is a lot of time and preparation that goes in behind the scenes to ensure all paperwork is addressed for each individual participant.

Is there any catering at FOA?

Answer: Yes there is.

Over the entire course of the event the local SES will be setup and selling a variety of hot and cold food options (e.g. Continental Breakfast, Bacon/Egg Rolls, Hamburgers, etc.) for both breakfast and lunch. A coffee van will also be there for the entire time who will also be selling a range of Hot and Cold Beverages.

Can I have the same Camping spot as last year?

Answer: Yes you can.

2024 attendees will have priority to ensure their past camp site is secured for them.

The Goal of FOA

It is the goal of Australian Large Scale Models through the event of The Festival of Aeromodelling to bring all Aeromodellers together regardless of their background or Special Interest Group that they are apart of, to enjoy and experience all aspects of Aeromodelling.

Vision

The Vision of the Festival of Aeromodelling started with a members of the Australian Large Scale Models fulfilling the dream to be able to attend the Worlds Largest RC Fun Fly, Joe Nall in the state of South Carolina, USA.

It was from attending such an event that a group of like minded Australian Aeromodellers came together to help recreate the equivalent for the Australian Aeromodelling Community, to which the Festival of Aeromodelling was born.
