It would be pretty accurate to describe the F3A World Championships as the R/C precision aerobatic Olympics.This year's competition will have pilots representing 40 nations from around the world.
Unfortunately unlike the Olyimpics we don't have the likes of a Nike,General Motors or Wheaties to step up and help pay the bills. We rely on a small group maufacturers , distributors, clubs and supporters like yourself to make ends meet.In the best of times it's been a challenge to secure funding ,and in our present economy,it hasn't gotten any easier.So I urge all of you out there to help out if you can and a big thanks to those that already have. Believe me, there are few more rewarding and powerful moments you can have in life than to stand on a foreign nation's soil and see "Old Glory" raised and hear "The Star Spangled Banner " played. Let's bring home the gold.
Best regards,
Tim Jesky

Hey Tim,

Great to see you on here!! I'm proud to be a part of this site, and it especially feels good when our members step up and help with situations such as this.

It's awesome to hear from you and please tell Linda and Andrew I said hi, I really miss seeing you guys around the circuit, you're one of the best families anyone could ever consider as friends...hope to see you soon!!
