Canadian FAI F2B Precision Aerobatics Teams
Over the years since the Control line World Championships were established in 1960, our most dedicated Canadian control line flyers have been attending events around the world. Here is a breakdown of how are Canucks have placed in the Stunt arena. The first entry by a now Canadian we have found goes back to1962 when Geoff Higgs flew for the British Stunt team. We are missing some information on a couple of the venues. Please feel free to inform me of some of the missing tidbits. This info is taken from a chart generated by Victoria Stunt in Australia. Some period photo submissions would be appreciated from any participants.
