We're thrilled to have been offered another opportunity to visit the glider guys at Lake Keepit, for the weekend of 25th and 26th September 2010, and perhaps make it a longer weekend. Have a look at the Keepit website.
The report on the last visit to Lake Keepit is here on our web site and click here for the photo gallery.
This is a great chance to try your hand at flying the real thing, and to take along some RC gear to fly at a great venue. It's quite a drive, but there will be plenty of car sharing and very affordable accommodation available.
If you'd like to go along, please get in touch with Stephen MacMahon by clicking here to send him an email (or see him at the Belrose field). It would help Stephen to know, soon, if you are keen to go.

7:30am and the Model Engines blokes were already there with their trailer - unloading some beautiful aircraft. These guys sure work hard on their weekends! Take a look at http://www.modelengines.com.au for more about our sponsors!
Around 40 pilots registered for the event, and this produced around 70 aircraft, and close to 150 flights on the day. Several people commented that there were almost always 2 or more aircraft in the air, sometimes half a dozen, and everything from a couple of vintage floaters to several twin-engined warbirds and racers ripping up the sky.

Great to see at least 4 people getting some instruction on the finer points, including a first solo landing - right on the line and angle...
