the three-day event.
“There has been positive feedback
fromboth the participants and the
general public who attended, and in
addition the Luskintyre owners have
commented favourably on the way the
event was run.”
“The FSAA was pleased to have directly
contributedmore than $9000 to the
Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service,
Lochinvar Primary School and the
Luskintyre Flying Group. This does
not take into consideration themany
thousands of dollars indirectly injected
into the local community.
The first day of the festival was
exclusively for modellers with the 29th-
30th open to the public with air shows
and events, providing a fast, furious
and fun day out for the whole family.
President of the MAAA, Neil Tank said
the festival was a great family event,
the perfect opportunity to expose
our sport to the broader community,
as well as bring the aeromodelling
community of Australia together to
celebrate their achievements, while
having fun with friends at the same
time.
Mike O’Reilly fromO’Reilly Model
Products- a key sponsor, said he was
impressed by the overall success of
the event and looks forward to next
year’s competition.
“The Luskintyre event went very well
and we would be happy to be involved
again next year,” he said.
