Model Balloons

Unlike full-scale hot air balloons, model hot air balloons are more accessible offering an entry point into the world of ballooning. 

Without needing special licenses and expensive equipment compared to the full-scale balloons, this makes them ideal for those looking to experience ballooning on a smaller, more manageable scale.

In collaboration with local model balloon enthusiasts Bath Hot Air Balloon Club hold events throughout the year that enable both full-scale and RC model hot air balloons to be showcased together.

The BMFA is the National Governing Body for the sport of model flying. Its aims are to promote, protect, organise and encourage model flying within the UK. There are over 750 affiliated clubs throughout the UK and a combined membership of almost 30,000 members, all of whom have entered a partnership to ensure that model aircraft and drone flyers have a voice and their rights are recognised by the authorities.
