The Weather in Hamilton was perfect all weekend, many
pilots were still on the field Well after 5pm both days. Regretfully
there were not enough pilots there wanting to compete formerly
so the weekend was turned into a great funfly.
Despite the cancellation of the competitions 20 pilots attended
and everyone had a very relaxing time in the sun (no wind
either) on what can only be argued as one of the best flying
sites in the North Island.
On Sunday Ian Mander of Cambridge brought over his big model
Turbine JetCat and its did a very impressive display in the
hands of Grant Clark – I just love the noise and smell
of those things.
Naturally there were many TRex’s at the event (is there
anyone who doesn’t own one ?) and RCHeli’s of
Hamilton (importer of TRex) kindly put up some prizes for
a TRex drag race. Neil Parkinson won with myself coming second
(it must have been close wasn’t it Neil P ?)
Lunch on Saturday was enough Pizza to feed and Army with
a BBQ lunch on Sunday. I just love relaxed funflys like this
when everything comes together and every one goes home with
a big grin, I don’t think we had any serious crashes
that weekend.
Thanks to the Hamilton Club and Heli Technical committee
for arranging the Event.
