2011 (Mostly) UK Events Calendar
Here are a selection of events that may be of interest to free flight scale modellers. To be safe,
I would recommend checking with the organisers nearer the time to make sure nothing has changed.

Nijmeegse Luchtvaart Club, Nijmegen, Netherlands. There will be 4 scale classes:
F4D Open Scale, Rubber, F4E Open scale, CO2/electric, F4F Peanut and Pistachio.
