Committee will advise further after considering this situation. aviation sport Thu, 20 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wmac.org.nz/important-note-2/ Wellington Model Aeroplane Club 2022-01-20T00:00:00Z https://wmac.org.nz/important-note/ 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.

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. aviation sport Wed, 07 Mar 2018 00:00:00 GMT https://wmac.org.nz/summer-soaring-series-2018-6-8-2018/ Wellington Model Aeroplane Club 2018-03-07T00:00:00Z https://wmac.org.nz/ordering-lipos-from-hobbyking-australia/ I have always wondered where the best price point is in terms of buying lipo’s (or anything else for that matter which involves multiple units purchased) when you factor in the freight cost. I started with a “purchase” of one lipo and kept on adding one of the same lipo to my cart until the […] aviation sport Thu, 01 Mar 2018 00:00:00 GMT https://wmac.org.nz/ordering-lipos-from-hobbyking-australia/ Wellington Model Aeroplane Club 2018-03-01T00:00:00Z https://wmac.org.nz/blast-from-the-past-1980s/ Those older club members may remember the displays that the WMAC did at Strand Park in the 1980’s.

Well it didn’t go well. About the fourth flight the aircraft stopped responding and crashed in the prison stock grazing area.

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.
