We have an action packed edition of
Wingspan this quarter! This edition
features our top young pilots, some
great tips on float planes, insights into
our 2015 Member Survey and the latest
in FPV racing. Hopefully it inspires you
to get along to your local club!
The MAAA supports clubs across the country to ensure people
have a safe place to learn to fly and enjoy their sport. We also
support pilots who want to take flying to the next level and
compete at a state, national and international level.
A group of our sporting elite recently competed in the 2015 FAI
F3D World Championships for Pylon Racing Model Aircraft in the
Czech Republic.
The Australian team did us proud, especially young Victorian pilot
Daniel Arapakis, who placed third in the junior competition.
Flying model aircraft is an exciting sport the whole family can
enjoy and we encourage you to go along to a local club and take
part in this exciting RC sport.
Each club has its own program of events and you can find a club
in your area by visiting
The MAAA has two major events in the next six months. You can
read more about these events in this edition, but we encourage
you to save these dates now.
AustralianModel FlyingDay
Aeromodelling clubs across the country are busy organising
