3rd South African Annual Indoor Challenge

Due to the lack of interest and support for this event we have been forced to cancel it and the AGM.

This is extremely disappointing especially in view of the huge success of the first and second Indoor Challenges.

Would the 6 pilots who have paid their entry fee please advise us your banking details so we may refund your entry fee.

In order to find a way forward for Indoor Electric flying in South Africa, we suggest we hold a meeting to discuss various issues. We would like to hold this meeting on Saturday 18th February 2012 @ Barnstormers Flying Club @ 14:00. Please bring a plane so everyone can enjoy some flying after the meeting. The wind normally drops completely at about 17:30 so bring a foamie as well for some more fun and to share each others ideas about model design, equipment and performance. Braai facilities are available so please advise if you will be attending so we can arrange charcoal etc. Please bring your own meat and liquid refreshments etc.
Yours sincerely
Dave and Judy

2011 Fun Fly Masters at WMFC 1st and 2nd October

Story by Dave Harris with pictures by Wouter van Wyk & Mark Hoare


Christopher Harris who flies for Barnstormers Club in Kempton Park became National Fun Fly Champion for the seventh time by winning this, the 21st Fun Fly Masters held in Welkom. He also scored his second hat trick and won seven out of ten events, flown during the weekend.

A very windy weekend greeted the top eighteen pilots from all over South Africa who made the annual pilgrimage to the Free State to do battle in this the most exciting form of aeromodelling.

Welkom Model Aircraft Club staged another truly brilliant competition and are to be sincerely complimented on the professional and enthusiastic approach with which they always apply to running the Masters. The CD, judges and all W.M.A.C members take Fun Fly very seriously and this was the eighteenth time they have organised this prestigious event, and as such are true “masters” themselves. This year W.M.A.C ensured that even the evenings were full of fun by staging a professional dance show.
