2021 Alpine Cup

Today, this sporting event is an integral part of the FAI’s international F3A competition history and traces its origins to the great successes of Bruno Giezendanner. Various world and European champions have competed here for points and rankings. For decades, the competition received financial support from the NOS Model Flying Region. Today, the SMV and sponsors also make significant contributions—our heartfelt thanks to them.

Reichenburg Revival: For many years, the MG Reichenburg organized the competition—which was actually intended to rotate among different venues. Here are a few of those venues listed once again:

• Pfäffikon, ZH
• Schaffhausen
• Diessenhofen
• Einsiedeln
• Gossau, ZH
• Reichenburg
• Hinwil
• Flaachtal
• Illnau-Effretikon

This year, we once again had the pleasure of being guests at MG Reichenburg. We have nothing but praise to offer. The event was executed perfectly and celebrated with great charm. Thank you to the hardworking folks from Üsserschiiz. Well done! Finally, we have very positive news to report about our national team’s performance. Congratulations! ■
