Model helikopterciliğin yarışmaların çoğalması ile gelişeceğine inandığımdan Amerikada uygulanan Class 1 2 3 yarışma kurallarını aşağıda yayınlıyorum. Türk Hava Kurumu ile yapılan toplantıda bu haraketler kurum tarafından da destek verilmesi ve resmi müsabakalarda bu sınıflar da da yarışma düzenlenmesi talebimiz iletilmiştir. Umarım kısa zamanda bu haraketler ile yarışmalar yapılır ve F3C uçmayı henüz başaramayan arkadaşlarımızla beraber zevkli yarışmalar düzenleriz.
