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
