Being held over the weekend of
22-23 October this year, the MAAA is
hosting this great event which also
supports the Royal Flying Doctor
Service Australia.
MAAA President Neil Tank
encourages local clubs to support
the annual event by holding their
own local events, as it’s important
to get more Australians involved in
our great sport.
“Flying a model aircraft is a fast-
growing family sport and this
event’s wide range of activities
help the wider community learn
more about the sport while giving
members a great day out,” said
Neil.
“We need to showcase high-
speed pylon racing jet planes,
gliders and helicopters to the
younger generation, and let them
experience the adrenalin rush and
thrill of flight”.
The Australian Model Flying Day
will take place at various locations
across the country on 22-23
October. The entry fee is a $5 badge
and all proceeds raised go directly
to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
So how do you take part? Plan
an event (a club flying day or
even a fundraising BBQ) for one
day on the weekend of 22-23
October. Then register your club’s
event with the MAAA Secretary
( secretary@maaa.asn.au) and
advise how many members you
believe will attend. You’ll then
receive 2016 MAAA Australian
Model Flying Day badges.
Encourage club members and the
public to come along and enjoy
the day!
