JUNE 2022 PLANE OF THE MONTH

Pete's classic Marabu high winger

This superb classic higher design was built from a Slovenian basic kit. It is 2700mm span beautifully built, powered by Turnigy 42 size motor, running 5s. The fittings including struts, fuselage mounts, and undercarriage, were all scratch fabricated by Pete. It is an elegant slow flyer.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GUY AND ALLAN, WELCOME GLENN. FAREWELL BOB H.

Guy was awarded his MAAA Silver wings by Phil; following initial training by several instructors.  His final in depth training was carried out by club MAAA Instructor Paul S.

Student pilot Allan progressed quickly to gain CCMAC Bronze Wings under tuition from Dennis.

He was also perhaps helped by some glider flying experience "many moons ago".

Welcome to new member and student pilot Glenn who is already making rapid and enthusiastic progress with instructor Dennis. Glenn wisely started with a Boomerang trainer, but is also rapidly building a squadron of aircraft!

​

The Club was sorry to say good bye to long standing and popular member Bob H who has decided to move to Queensland to be close to family.

MONTHLY MAIDENS

A bit smaller than his June P.O.M, but Pete M also maidened this little classic design rocket ship!

Dennis helped Michael F to successfully maiden, and trim, his new Stick.

And Gary enjoyed assisting Arthur to maiden his very nice new Seagull FunFly 3D plane.

Dennis was delighted with the excellent maiden  performance of his new EFlite Viper 70mm EDF.

Another maiden for Gunter! A four stroke nitro powered Fly Baby.

Larry has been busy scratch building yet again! And has maidened this new electric low winger.

Devastated by the loss in the bush of his beloved scratch built Red Zephyr, Des soon built and maidened a beaut new replacement!

Guy was happy with the performance of his new EFlite Commander electric low winger.

OK. Not yet a maiden. But we look forward to seeing in to what plane Gunter installs his fantastic new three cylinder four stroke nitro?
