Welcome to the AHA

The Assocation for Helicopter Aerosports (AHA) is the specialist body within the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) representing all Radio Control Helicopter disciplines and pilots.

The AHA is responsible for organising the FAI (F3C, F3N and Sportsmans) and Scale Helicopter Nationals in England. As the specialist body for model helicopters within the BMFA we are also responsible for providing technical support on all matters of helicopter operation and safety.

The AHA works tirelessly with the BMFA to ensure that the UK helicopter fliers are represented and have a voice. Although we are largely viewed as a competition biased association we do organise and run events that are open to all pilots. At our AGM it was decided by our members that the AHA acronym would be changed to stand for the Association for Helicopter Aerosports as from 1st of January 2010. This change was to better reflect the work that we do not just for aerobatic and competition pilots but for all model helicopter fliers. 
Membership of the AHA is, as always, open to all and we are an afiliated body of the BMFA therefore membership of the BMFA is required.
