submission guidelines

The philosophy of the editors is that FFQ should be a forum for the sharing of knowledge, and robust discussion, which means that material submitted does not necessarily have to agree with the views of the original author.

Articles can cover a range of subjects including technical matters, plans/construction details on individual models,  history, innovation, [auto]biographical, reports of national and/or international competitions, etc.

Letters to the Editor should be restricted to a maximum of one A4 page.

Ideally, material should be in English but the editorial team can translate to English from French, German, Italian or Spanish.

FFQ reserves the right to edit submissions so that they accord with the magazine's format.
