Free Flight Scale videos on YouTube

There are formal competitions such as the National Championships in May and August, The Selby Trophy, Oxford MFC in September as well as the more informal competitions such as Old Warden and other rallies and meetings around the U.K.
See https://scale.bmfa.org/ and https://bmfa.org/ as well as calendars in the media such as the Aeromodeller Magazine and BMFA News.
