On a very warm December night a hardy and enthusiastic band of modellers attended the last indoor meeting of the year at ETSA Park. We were very lucky to have Chris Brislin in attendance to show off his skills with the new E-Flite UMX P3 Revolution, and for Hamish Scott to extract awesome performance from a Blade Nano CP S helicopter.
We also had the usual collection of micro warbirds and drones of several sizes. And it was great to see a Night Vapor floating around at slower than walking pace staying out of trouble above the faster flying models.

After a series of cold, windy and sometimes wet days the lure of a relatively warm and calm indoor arena drew a large crowd of pilots to ETSA Park Netball Centre in July.
It was great to see some new faces who had an interesting variety of models to fly.There were some Blade 200 SRXs, Night Vapors, several Ultra Micro Space Walkers, Mike flew an Ultra Micro PT-17, and we saw quite a few quadcopters in action.

INDOOR FLYING IN MAY
We had a reasonable number of fliers attend our meeting for May and, as usual Mike arrived with some new models with the emphasis on an electronic marvel of modern day inventions. My first pix is of the "receiver" which is mounted on his DX9 Transmitter and it receives pictures from the camera on his Drone or Quad. I think that you will agree with my name of "The Spider" when looking at the next shot of the quad in flight.The camera is mounted just behind the little yellow square and the quality of the reception was magnificent.
We welcomed a very happy young gentleman, Mark, who must have been enjoying himself because of the smile that seemed to be an added or permanent

Whilst I am not providing captions for this month's pictures (most are self-explanatory) I will say that i am leading off with a picky of Hamish Scott. These days he is fairly busy at work and his appearances at Indoor are getting to be quite rare. So it was with much pleasure and excitement that he, once again, entertained us with his brilliant heli flying.
Do you know, dear readers, age, and I am speaking of senior years, make it a little difficult to follow Hamish's model movement as they are so rapid and precise. Thank you once again Hamish. It was pleasing to see that you also had time to speak to a couple of our recent flying visitors to ETSA.
The boys of "Crack Corner" being J.J., Michael Holmes, John Roxborough and Chappie were up to their usual tricks, demonstrating their enormous ability yet
