On this day 20 years ago, Estonian aeromodeller Toomas Mardna and co-pilot Juri Laidna made aviation history at Lake Maardu 🇪🇪

Launching their self-built piston-motor seaplane into a calm, clear sky at 4.57am, the duo set a remarkable world record that captured the spirit of aeromodelling 🛩️

👉🏻 A custom radio-controlled seaplane sporting a 3.38m wingspan and powered by an O.S FS-52S engine

👉🏻 Ground crews pursuing the aircraft in two chase cars along the lakeside at speeds of 70km/h

👉🏻 An incredible 111.01km out-and-return distance completed in 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 31 seconds

As the second person in Estonia to ever receive an FAI Sporting Licence (EST0002), Mardna has been a cornerstone of the country's aeromodelling community since day one.

Incredible as it is, this magnificent record still stands today! 🙌🏼

🪶Featherlight flight🪶

Weighing just grams, flying Indoor Model Aircraft (FAI aeromodelling class F1D) takes great skill and care by pilots.

And the best in the world are competing from today in the USA for the chance to become 2026 World Champion!

🏆2026 FAI F1D World Championships for Indoor Model Aircraft
📆15-20 June
📍Kibbie Dome, Moscow, Idaho, USA
🔗Website: https://www.f1d2026.org/

The aim with Indoor Model Aircraft is a long flight. Powered by a rubber band, the pilots' handmade aircraft can stay aloft for tens of minutes at a time.

🧐Fun fact: the USA last hosted the world championships in F1D 30 years ago in 1996!

The event is hosted by the National Free Flight Society (NFFS) with Academy of Model Aeronautics
