During the opening weekend of NARAM 59, Can Am Cup 2017 will be held.  This event is sanctioned as an FAI World Cup Event.  Competitors from the USA and Canada will be competing according to FAI Rules .  Contest Director is Mike Nowak, mikemnowak@gmail.com.  Please email Mike with any questions specific to the Can Am Cup 2017.

FAI Spacemodeling Competition has its own set of rules, similar in many ways to NAR Competition Rules, but different in many important ways.  The best place for NAR members to obtain information is the FAI Spacemodeling Page on the NAR Website, https://www.nar.org/contest-flying/fai-spacemodeling.  That site will give details regarding the unique construction techniques used in models in these events, as well as descriptions of the events.

In addition, the NAR FAI Team Fly Offs for the 2018 FAI World Space Modeling Championships which will be held in Nowy Targ, Poland.  Information regarding the Fly Offs can be found at https://www.nar.org/contest-flying/fai-spacemodeling/flyoffs-for-u-s-team-selection/

If you are an NAR member interested in participating in the Fly Offs, please register using the CanAm Cup/Team Flyoffs icon.  When you arrive at the registration page, simply enter “0” as your FAI number.
