Euro Heli Series & F3C World Cup

For several years the AHA saw the number of pilots dropping in F3C Competition.  Having tried many different things and a great deal of organisation, we still only had a handful of pilots.  This was a common theme with our European neighbours in Belgium, Holland and France.  We decided to combine forces in 2014 and the Euro Heli Series was up and running. It has grown each year and all events are now FAI registered World Cup competitions.  The weekends are really good fun and we have the logistics perfected now to keep costs down to a minimum.  It’s also really great to meet F3C pilots from other Countries.

F3C Schedule & Sportsmans Diagrams

Don’t let FAI and World Cup put you off. World Cups have been held for several years now in disciplines such as F3A but was introduced into F3C in 2016. They are a series of international competitions in which the competitors range from the highly experienced and successful fliers through those in the mid-field who are working their way up the rankings down to those who are just moving into international competition. World Cups are a excellent way for young people to taste the thrills of competing in international competition alongside experienced, successful

competitors - including current and ex-World or European Champions - and to hone their skills so that they may one day qualify to represent their county in World and Continental Championships.

Whilst this has led to a reduction in F3C events run in the UK.  The AHA is here to promote all disciplines of helicopter flying.  If people are interested in giving F3C a try then we will be more than happy to organise an event if there is enough interest.
