===Free flight (F1)=== The Wakefield Gold Challenge Cup is an international modelling competition named for the donor, [[Charles Wakefield, 1st Viscount Wakefield|Lord Wakefield]]. The event was first held on 5 July 1911 at [[The Crystal Palace]] in England. There were contests in 1912, 1913 and 1914. No contests were held again until 1927, when the [[British Model Flying Association|Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers]] (SMAE) approached Lord Wakefield for a new larger silver trophy for international competition. This trophy is the present Wakefield International Cup and was first awarded in 1928. The SMAE organized the international competitions until 1951 when the [[Fédération Aéronautique Internationale|FAI]] took over, and has since been made the award for the rubber-power category at the FAI World Free Flight Championships. The FAI free flight classes include:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.fai.org/sites/default/files/sc4_vol_f1_freeflight_24_final.pdf |title=FAI Sporting Code - Free Flight Model Aircraft 2024 Edition |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=1 January 2024 |publisher=[[Fédération Aéronautique Internationale]] |access-date=30 November 2024}}</ref> *F1A – Gliders *F1B – Model Aircraft with extensible (rubber band) motors – Wakefield Trophy *F1C – Power model aircraft (combustion powered {{cvt|2.5|cc|cuin}}) *F1D – Indoor model aircraft *F1E – Gliders with automatic steering *F1N – Indoor hand-launch gliders *F1P – Power model aircraft (combustion powered 1.0cc) *F1Q – Electric power model aircraft *F1G – Model aircraft with extensible (rubber band) motors « Coupe d’hiver » (provisional) *F1H – Gliders (provisional) *F1J – Power model aircraft (provisional) (combustion powered {{cvt|1.0|cc|cuin}}) *F1K – Model aircraft with {{CO2}} motors (provisional) *F1L – Indoor zone EZB model aircraft (provisional) *F1M – Indoor model aircraft (provisional) *F1R – Indoor model aircraft “Micro 35” (provisional) *F1S – Small electric power model aircraft “E36”
