Semi-Scale Pylon Racing
Model Aircraft
HEADS UP
Aeromodelling F3T, or Semi-Scale Pylon
Racing, sees two teams of two go head-to-
head, racing model planes 10 laps around a
pre-set course of pylons. The planes can hit
speeds of 315km/h, so it’s fast and furious.
Pictured is Paolo Mucedola with his daughter
Alice acting as his ‘caller’.

Before each race the team must present their
plane to the judges. Here, the USA’s James
Allen gets ready to fly while his caller Tony
Lopez holds the model aloft for identification.
