Dear Guy, For F6 categories it is in Czech Republic not very easy to make a list of sponsors because as a matter of fact we practically do not have any!!! For other RC categories like F3A, F3M, F3D, F3P we have several solid sponsors like Hacker, AXi, JETI, Mejzlik, Flight Power, Krill Models and may be 10 other producers or sellers who are supporting the contests in our country under following conditions: - We do not have usually written contracts with them. Their support is usually based on some personal relations with the organizing persons. - Majority of them are supporting the organizers by means of RC or other material which can be used as contest prices - Only a few of them are ready to give some money into the contest budget or to accept the covering of some organizer's costs - As a counter value they are usually asking to put their logo on all printed documents and to announce them oficially as sponsors. It means, that for the contests in F6 categories and for supporting of future national teams for World Air Games or World Artistic Games it will be necessary to bring the current sponsors as well into the F6 family! We have to offer to the sponsors new oportunities outcomming from the possible contacts with television and generally with better publicity of F6 contests. Sorry Guy that I did not fill in your questionnaires as you asked for but for F6 I am currently not able to do it.

As said earlier, I will provide in due time WArtGames and World Games competitors with guidelines on how to secure sponsors outside of the restricted model aircraft sector. Meanwhile, I will try having a clearer view of the present situation. This is for all the competitors, whatever the class, among you. Please fill in the appended questionnaire and send it back to me. In addition, if you dare telling it, it would be extremely helpful to know what your yearly competition budget really is for: 1) Equipment (models renewal & maintenance, RC equipment & batteries, etc) 2) Travel expenses to competitions I promise I will not tell your better half, even under torture ;-) Guy R. This list set up for FAI/CIAM F6 Working Group. Archive of the list available at : ciam-f6-wg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
