The Gratton Field in Calvert, Queensland came alive last weekend. The Spektrum Gratton Airshow was held from February 14 to 17 and Modelflight was really pleased to be involved in this fantastic event. 108 modellers from across Australia participated in the competitions at Gratton, and they were watched by an estimated 2,200 spectators who attended the event over the course of 4 days. We had several of our team members at Gratton, including our Managing Director, Mike O'Reilly (pictured above). There were a wide range of modelling activities at the Airshow, including scale competitions, racing, discus launch and aero tow demonstrations. If that wasn't enough, Gratton was pleased to host two Very Important Pilots from Team Horizon - Ali Machinksy (below left) and Mike McConville (below right).

The Carbon Z Splendor is constructed from a Carbon-Z wing and fuselage structure. Putting this plane is very straightforward, thanks to E-Flite's simple bolt-on assembly. Just make sure you have enough room for

January 11, 2013 30At Modelflight, we take a lot of pride in our range of scale This 60-size ARF is certainly no ultra-micro and you will find that its range of features is just as large. Made from an all-wood construction, the Messerschmitt incorporates two Selig airfoils with just the ideal amount of washout, letting you soar at high speeds while still performing graceful landings. Additionally, Hangar 9 has included a four-section flap system, giving you a greater range of speed and manoeuvrability. One of the key features of the Messerschmitt is its ability to combine great performance with accurate scale detail. The construction of this RC plane allows for its curved surfaces to be fully sheeted. This
