At its 2005 Plenary Meeting, the FAI Aeromodelling Commission (CIAM) recognized that new technology underlying autonomous flight was available and had been demonstrated by the World Records ratified in the names of Messrs Maynard L. HILL, Barrett J. FOSTER and David G. BROWN during their flight across the Atlantic Ocean. It was agreed that new record categories would need to be set up, and the new record structure was adopted by CIAM at its 2006 Plenary Meeting.
The new F8 category (Autonomous flight) is now available for consultation on FAI World Records Internet pages and the following World Records have been reclassified from F3 to F8 :
Record number 7882, Formerly : F3-142, Now : F8-908
Record number 7883, Formerly : F3-141, Now : F8-907
