IR CLUB MOSTAR


This club was founded 1936 and then this sport was really unknown to the all people of this town. Those were first steps and as the all begins this was also primitive but productive. But even now after more than 60 years a lot of people don't know about this sport, which is growing up in the shadow of the other more popular sports. This club has a lot of results from the competitions in the Bosnia & Herzegovina and also from the international competitions. Members of the Air-club Mostar wer e the part of the representation at the World Championship in Israel. Where our representation won 3 gold and 1 bronze medal.

This sport, although a lot of people think it isn't, is very exhausting and difficult. Only the competition lasts for 7 or 8 hours (it depends on the weather). That means to be on the some kind of the meadow sorrounded with nothing. Usually these are places with no water and anything else that could make competition little bit easier. And also beside being on that meadow you have to run for your model, which can be very long maybe even for few kilometers with your look in the sky. But also this sport gives you a moments of pleasure when you are looking to your model and feeling that you are flyinf with it just as well. Because of the l ittle popularity of this sport I highly recommend this sport to alll who like combination of the sport and technics. And you will not only go to the competitions you will also visit a lot of the countries where the competitions are held Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Spain.

At this moment in the air-club Mostar there are two sections. One is free flight section and the other is section of the rocket models. Free flight models are the models that don't use any kind of the motor or the power. These models are: gliders (F1A), rubber powered models (F1B) and climbers (F1C). F1B and F1C are using motor only to climb to exact hight. Section of the rocket models is doing the flying models of the rockets, which are just as same as the big rockets. After all this I have nothing to say except join us, who knows maybe someday you could became pilot of the first class airplane.
