It was good to see three youngsters flying
and everyone enjoyed the competition which
ran very smoothly.
Stu Holland travelled from Dublin and flew this aircraft.

Electric power is taking over - this is the model
which Matthew flew, very impressive as usual.
Thanks to him for the effort he put into the
competition this year - he even took the young
pilots out for a demo flight afterwards.
And well done to the NWMAC club who hosted
the event and ran the BBQ, everyone had
a good day. |
