GPS Coordinates -41.529139, 173.722824 Club members meet at our flying site every Sunday and Wednesday morning. If you are interested in radio controlled flying, please feel free to visit our flying field on a club day. Alternatively, if you are interested in joining our club, contact our club Secretary. Our club members have a wide range of interests in model radio controlled aircraft including scale, vintage, aerobatics, electric, gliding and jet turbines and are willing to share their knowledge with anyone else who has an interest. Recent Club Activity Sunday 12 November saw a beautiful sunny day at the flying site with a reasonable turnout of members and their models. The wind did come up a little early on but this didn't stop most from having a fly. Unfortunatelly for Mat he managed to find the only clump of grass on the strip when landing and managed to cartwheel his Great Planes F-1 Rocket resulting in some minor damage to the trailing edge of the left wing. Nothing that a little time at the bench won't fix. After a series of stupid mistakes one after the other a couple of weeks back resulting in Chris piling his Hanger 9 Funtana into the runway leaving it a little worse for wear, Chris returned to the strip this week with his recently aquired World Models Jeff Troy’s TAMEcat Trainer for a test flight. Unfortunately the engine did not want to play ball with a rough transition between idle and full throttle resulting in some very rough running mid throttle the test flight was not made. It was also discovered that the steering turning circle was far less that adequate and the model was put back in the car to return another day when the issues have been resolved.
