Having a go at flying model aircraft is the perfect way to entertain kids – as well as their parents \u2013 anytime of year.
\nThe Mt Wallace Model Aircraft Association is making it easy for young and old, men and women, to try their hand at flying with the upcoming Try-and-Fly day.
\nOn Sunday 1 March, from 10am, anyone is welcome at the club\u2019s Brisbane Ranges Road field where there will be instructors ready to guide first-timers flying the club\u2019s model aircraft.
\n\u201cPeople are welcome to come out any time during the day,\u201d said Club President Ken Mollison.
\n\u201cThe idea of the event is to foster an interest around models for people who haven\u2019t seen it done – they can come and have a try under the guidance of our instructors. Everyone is welcome,\u201d he said.
\nThe Victorian Model Aircraft Association and the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia are both sponsoring the event, which will also include displays of model aircraft and refreshments available to purchase.
\nMr Mollison said women are increasingly becoming involved in the world of model aircraft flying, with four members in Queensland, two in New South Wales and two in Victoria.
\nThe Mt Wallace club has 35 members and the location for the Try & Fly Day is Brisbane Ranges Road Mt Wallace (approximately 1.5 kilometres from turning off the Ballan-Geelong Road.)
