After the success of last year's Australian Model Flying Day the club decided to participate again this year and invite some of our friends from around the state.
And what an awesome day it turned out to be with models from many disciplines. Pattern, IMAC, scale, control line, quads, old timers and jet turbines.
A huge vote of thanks to the ladies, led by Elaine, Elizabeth and Val, for a memorable lunch once again. Not many clubs put on a three course meal, with seconds if you are so inclined.
