Adelaide Model Aerosport played host to this year's Jets over Monarto 3-day event. Blessed with some great late winter weather, over 30 pilots with in excess of 50 RC jets attended. Models ranged from small EDF models to the super impressive 3-metre Leonardo turbine model of Theo Arvanitakis. Pilots came from Alice Springs, Mildura, Melbourne and various SA-based clubs, and a lot of interested RC modellers came from Adelaide to check out the action. See below and the image gallery for pictures from the event!
A big thank you to the AMA Club, and the organisers, Greg Leigh and David Wearing-Smith.

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
