BMFA. The British Model Flying Association.

I am not of the same opinion as to say it is not a sport. Admittedly a one hundred yard sprint is not common in our field, neither is it common in the various forms of competitive boating. Not all boating is a sport or hobby, just as not all aircraft modelling is.

There are a lot of serious Model Flying Competitions Local, National, and International. That I consider serious sport. Remember many more sports people practise at whatever level they still can, not nessesarilly competitive, and enjoy it, although neither young or physically acrobatic, strong, or fast moving.
