Night Fly Competition

The Futaba Extreme Flight Championship has always strived to introduce innovations in competition and crowd appeal with Freestyle/3D flying. In 2008 the XFC introduced the "Night Fly" competition.

With the energy and excitement that was evident at the 2008 Night Fly competition in mind, the XFC has worked hard with the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) to introduce something new.

In addition to an amazing Fireworks show at the end of the evening, imagine having the likes of many top competitors dazzling you with a brilliant light and flying demo. But wait... there's more! Imagine the same show with pyrotechnics! That's right, PYROTECHNICS! With the assistance of the AMA Executive Council, the XFC sets new standards for night flying, while introducing a new element into the XFC.

We (XFC) would like to thank the AMA for being receptive to this new concept, and working with the XFC to bring R/C modeling to the general public in a way that will draw National Media attention to the sport we love.

The Night Fly competition is not solely for the XFC competitors. If you feel like you can "hang" with the big boys and have some "game", please contact us and we'll be happy to discuss it with you. It is limited to 8 competitors however, and there are some restrictions. The plane has to be at least 80" in span, but does not have to be "scale". The Heli needs to be .50 sized or larger.
