Local resident part of team representing SA at F3K World Championships
It is an honour for him to be part of the team and the preparations are going well.
Alan Smith from Parkrand will be part of the team representing the country and South African Model Aircraft Association (SAMAA) at the model glider F3K World Championships, in Slovakia, from 24 to 31 July.
He will be jetting off along with other team members Craig Goodrum and Jethro van der Molen.
He explained team selection took place two years ago, but the championships were postponed due to Covid-19.
“It’s also good to meet up with our other family. We haven’t been able to compete in the championships since Covid-19 became a reality
“During the week we practice and on Sundays the team gets together,” he said.
Alan said he always had a passion for flying model aircrafts and was born into an aircraft family.
Furthermore, he said the world championships are self-funded and members of the community are welcome to make contributions to support the team.
