CIAM flyer (01-2022): The Electric Motor's Long Road to F3A Aerobatics
It was at the F3A World Championships from 15th to 19th September 1971, at the Central Bucks County Airport in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in front of a large crowd of spectators, that Fred Militky showcased the first radio-controlled electric model glider. This was the real beginning of electric flight.
