The FAI Aeromodelling Commission was again very
active with a great number of FAI-sanctioned events
both for Categories 1 and 2. In addition to that, a lot of
non-competition events have been organised by
FAI members such as air-shows or fly-ins. Indoor
AeroMusicals was for the first time present at The
