F3A Team Finland
F3P-AFM Aeromusicals class has been awarded status of Finnish Championships. The first winner will be selected in the next competition in Iittala in addition to the FAI class which already has Championships status.
This also means that competitors must have valid sporting licence. However, F3P Sport and Advanced still continue as Finnish Cup -series so you can still participate without licence in these classes.
