Aeromodelling
Aeromodelling is an activity of designing, building, and flying of model airplanes, helicopters and anything else that flies. It is an international hobby and sport. You get to express your creativity in the aircraft you create and have opportunities to prove their air-worth in local and international competitions.
This sport is one of the only few that spans across all age groups and all can compete within the same discipline. So if you are looking for an interesting activity you can bond with your kids, Aeromodelling can be your choice.

Aeromodelling touches on the key physics principles of flight. Designing and building a plane is exciting and challenging. There are many considerations behind the forces of flight, optimising aerodynamics and a grasp of balance. Engine-powered planes also involve appreciating the art of engine and propeller designs.
Aeromodelling is widely recognised as an international aviation sport governed by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). In 2008, the Singapore Sports Council also officially recognised Aeromodelling as a sport locally. There are many local, regional and international competitions available for those who are game for it!
