Welcome to the QPFA

The objectives of the QPFA are to promote Pattern Flying in Queensland, to support the development of the skills of fliers in the state and to promote responsible Remote Control flying in the context of the MAAQ. Feel free to make any suggestions about the site, they would be gratefully received. You can also email me to be added to our Update Notification List and I will email you when the site is updated. Please send comments to Simon Atkinson
