It is an intellectual and exciting sport with high concentration, during the performance, the body's muscles react momentarily and involuntarily.
The abbreviation of this sport is (IPAC) “International Para Aeromodelling Committee”, which was introduced in 2023 by a 17-year-old teenager who is also a Guinness World Record holder in this sport.
This Iranian teenager named Ali Asgari Lemjiri, known as SKY BOY, is the creator of new ideas and innovations in Model Airplane Piloting.
This sport can be practiced at local, national and international levels by athletes with all kinds of physical disabilities, even people with severe physical disabilities.
Boys and girls can participate in this sport from childhood to middle age and compete with each other at different ages.
Para Aeromodelling athletes as pilots of radio controlledaircraft can active in two branches:
1- Indoor Flight
2- Outdoor Flight
What is Indoor Flight? Electric radio controlled aircrafts weighing less than 200 grams and measuring approximately 90 x 90 cm will be flown in an indoor sports hall (e.g. futsal, basketball hall).
What is Outdoor Flight? The flight of Gasoline and electric airplanes weighing more than 500 grams with dimensions of at least 100 x 100 cm in open space requires a smooth surface with dimensions of at least 4 meters wide and 30 meters long.
Para aeromodelling was introduced in 2023 by an Iranian teenager named Ali Asgari Lemjiri;
From the age of 10, with the support of his father's different thinking, he was able to visualize himself as a person without two hands, so he had to use his toes to control the radio control aircraft.
Ali Asgari Lemjiri was able to succeed in this decision with continuous daily practicing after six months, based on his motivation, perseverance and purposefulness.
One of the goals of Ali Asgari Lemjiri was to be a motivation for teens and teenagers who like to make the Impossible possible.
This success was the beginning for Ali Asgari Lemjiri, who was able to create new and unique ideas in the sport of Aeromodelling from the age of 10.
Ali Asgari Lemjiri was able to visualize himself as a person with limited hands and feet, whose only face was able to control the radio control plane, and he succeeded in this idea as well.
Since 2019, Ali Asgari Lemjiri's practicing video of his new flight ideas has been published among athletes in this field.
Few people could believe what they saw and many positive and negative reactions poured in. Many people encouraged him and praised him as a child prodigy. But also, many others labeled his great achievement as fake and refused to acknowledge that a teenager is capable of doing the impossible.
From 2015 to 2023, Ali Asgari Lemjiri tried to introduce this idea and innovation in the sport of Aeromodelling to the physically disabled community and teach them the skill of piloting a radio-controlled aircraft.
Among his students were teenagers with severe disabilities, until in 2023 he was able to widely introduce this idea under the name Para Aeromodelling.
Ali Asgari Lemjiri is now trying to organize para aeromodelling so that para aeromodelling can be recognized as a new sport by the Paralympics.
From 2015 to 2023, Ali Asgari Lemjiri tried to introduce this idea and innovation (Para Aeromodelling) in the sport of Aeromodelling to the physically disabled community and teach them the skill of piloting a radio-controlled aircraft.
It is hoped that Ali Asgari Lemjiri can organize Para Aeromodelling in the near future for other communities such as autism, MS, etc.
