State of the Sport: Competition Fun Fly
Competition Fun Fly has evolved from casual club events to a structured AMA-sanctioned competition, featuring timed and mission tasks that test pilot skills. Key figures like Jerry L. Smith have shaped its development, creating lightweight, maneuverable aircraft. The 1988 national challenge in Huntsville marked a turning point, leading to the formation of the NCFFA for promotion and oversight. Modern aircraft and techniques continue to enhance the sport, emphasizing fun and community among competitors.
