January 01, 2013 40Well dear readers, although our final indoor gathering for 2012 began fairly quietly at ETSA Netball Stadium perhaps due to it being a quite languid evening and our fliers being a little loath to leave their air-conditioning, for some unknown reason, we seemed to have a larger-than-normal group of young people and due to our friend Chuck T. having more than just a mop of hair on his head, he showed excellent forethought and a great relationship with the littlies. However, more on that shortly – firstly let me mention our latest dad (in our midst of course) and I speak of Michael whose lovely wife presented him with a young gentleman and, no doubt, a future flier at ETSA Park. At just five weeks, I believe that he already has excellent control and touch of his joy stick and we look forward to bigger and better things from the young man. Whilst I could not show you a photo of the baby, my first shot is of the proud dad. We all join in, Michael, in congratulating you and your wife on the

November 28, 2012 34What a fascinating and interesting night was ahead for friends, both flying and spectators, who were able to make it to ETSA PARK for the November event. There were new models, such as helis, Quads and fixed wing aircraft and there were also people there who could almost be classed as “new models” because of the duration in time since we last saw them. My first photo shows two fliers who ably fitted this description, and I speak of Mike, the father, and Ryan, the son – Holmes, each in their own right, excellent fliers and it was with much pleasure that we welcomed their return to the fold.

The Traxxas Rally features a 4WD drivetrain, Velineon brushless power and the TQi 2.4 Ghz RC system in a scale looking vehicle with a really low Centre of Gravity will make for speed and handling.
