Important Note:
- Wellington Model Aeroplane Club
- Due to a sudden ruling by the Army and Department of Corrections we are no longer permitted to overfly the farm land adjacent to the power strip. Flying must remain on the rifle range side of the deer fence on the far side of the runway. Committee will advise further after considering this situation.

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.

Blast from the Past (1980’s)
- Wellington Model Aeroplane Club
- Those older club members may remember the displays that the WMAC did at Strand Park in the 1980’s. I do; I enjoyed them. I found some photos I took which maybe of interest.

- 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 […]

- This was my first attendance at a Summer Soaring Series for Spring/Summer 2016. The evening was lovely and fine with a dying Southerly. I arrived around 5pm and being a southerly, I parked down the north end of the park. Found myself amongst mothers with young children practicing softball and not another flier in sight… […]
