- Wellington Aero Club
- Wellington Aero Club brought 2 Waco aircraft during the 1930s. Buying aircraft from the USA was a controversial decision at the time and most previous purchased aircraft had been British made.

Summer Soaring Series 2018 (6/3/2018)
- Wellington Model Aeroplane Club
- Arrived about 5pm; noone else there; configured my electric glider and launched. One climb into lift and flew around for the next 45 minutes. So much lift around. That all changed when the wind shifted around to the south. A few of the other guys turned up around 5:45pm.

Ordering Lipos from HobbyKing Australia

Blast from the Past (1980’s)

Avoid using this switch
- Wellington Model Aeroplane Club
- Although I read a few bad reviews about this switch I thought I would use it in an electric model which required a receiver battery switch (it appeared to be a reasonable switch). Well it didn’t go well. About the fourth flight the aircraft stopped responding and crashed in the prison stock grazing area. I […]

Summer Soaring Series 2016 (8/11/2016)
