Dedicated to the past, present and future of FAI Power


These are a few of the many designs that have flown in the FAI Power event over the years.  In the days of Vintage FAI Power from 1951-1959, models often had names giving them the character that we all remember.  If a model didn't have a name, it bore the name of the designer / builder / flyer.  The models are arranged in chronological order, with  short description of the model, plans type, source, country, date and era below each thumbnail.  Clicking on a thumbnail brings up a full-size image suitable for downloading and printing.
