Our beloved friend Horace Hagen passed suddenly at home on December 14, 2022.

Dear friends,

I am very saddened to announce that the former F3 Helicopter S/C Chairman and CIAM Bureau member, Horace Hagen passed away this week.

He served the International R/C Helicopters community for a long period and he contributed a lot to the development of this fascinating discipline.

We will remember him during the next CIAM Plenary Meeting and of course during the next FAI World Championship which is going to happen in his home country, USA next summer.

May we offer our sincere condolences to his family, relatives and friends.

Kind regards

Antonis Papadopoulos

CIAM President
