“We had a group of varied models
that included a scale Taube
Monoplane (Saito 4 stroke) flown
by Andrew McEntyre, Tomboy
(MPJet 040), radio assist flown by
Tony Sheppard, Boomerang (Jet
Turbine Powered) flown by Gavin
Hallam to list just a few. Many
aerobatic models were flown too
as the members practiced for
aerobatic events.”
The South Hummocks Model Aero
Club in country South Australia
also dug deep for the Royal Flying
Doctor, holding a special fun
flying day to raise much needed
funds for the chosen charity.
Their event saw pilots taking part
in timed flights, dice take-off and
loops and spot landing to name a
few.
This is the first time the club
has taken part in the Australian
Model Flying Day but said because
they had so much fun, they have
marked it in their club calendar
for next year.
The entry fee to the event was a
$5 badge and all proceeds raised
have gone directly to the Royal
Flying Doctor Service.
The MAAA would like to extend its
thanks to all clubs who took part
in this year’s successful event.
