Model Flight has been a proud sponsor of the Noarlunga Civil & Military Scale Fun Fly event since 1978. This year’s event was well attended by members from a number of SA clubs.

After COVID border restrictions and poor weather had impacted the last two years, we made up for it this year with three fabulous days of sunshine and light winds. 33 pilots from WA, Victoria and South Australia enjoyed the open space and great thermal conditions at the Bordertown Aerodrome. Hundreds of flights took place with many of them over 30 minutes. 

Introducing the Losi Promoto-MX RTR RC Motorcycle

It’s not the first RC Motorcycle to hit the market, but the Losi Promoto-MX is the first one that accurately replicates the full experience of riding a real motorcycle.

Model Flight is proud to have been a supporter of the LSF Glider Tournament since the very first event in 1977. 

The Annual Jerilderie competition was held over the June long weekend. This year, three classes were flown. F5J, Open Thermal (winch launch) and F5L (2m Electric RES).  There were 38 competitors representing most Australian states, with 4 from New Zealand. 37 flew in 5J, with 27 in each of OT and 5L. Our AUS F5J World Championship Team of Nick Chabrel, Marcus Stent, and Andrew Meyer were there for some practice before they travel to Bulgaria for the WC in early August. Conditions were very good with light, steady wind, generally sub 10 kph. Sunny skies on Saturday, overcast to varying degrees on Sunday and Monday.  

Thermal activity was generally good, and the local birds often provided excellent markers. Despite

The Model Flight Midway Cup & Victorian F5J State Championships were held at the new Jess Field 15 km east of Horsham over the 6th - 7th of May. Brad and Mike headed across to represent SA.  Cool mornings, freshening winds and the odd light shower aren’t normally associated with a nice weekend of flying, but it made for challenging conditions. The relatively high number of out landings in the adjacent paddocks is testimony to the strength of the sink that was ever-present.

Theo Arvanitakis flying a Pike Prestige came out on top of the 27 pilots in the Saturday Qualifying rounds. Sunday’s flying was the 15-minute fly-off rounds with the pilots split into 3 groups depending on their
