THE F1 AIR RACE SANDOWN,
THE WORLD CHAMPS IN WA,
AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST RC
SCALE FESTIVALS OF ITS KIND IN
AUSTRALIA ARE JUST A FEW OF
THE HIGHLIGHTS ON THE MAAA
CALENDAR FOR 2016
2016 is shaping up to be another huge year for the MAAA.
We started the year with a bang, promoting our sport at the
F1 Air Race Sandown 2016. Following this, the 2016 F2 World
Championships for Control Line Model Aircraft will be held in
Western Australia.
Across the country the MAAA supports clubs to ensure people
have a safe place to learn to fly and enjoy their sport.
This year, the MAAA is the major sponsor for the Luskintyre
RC Scale Festival. We will provide $20 000 in sponsorship and
marketing support for the event. The festival will be one of the
biggest displays of scale model aircraft ever held in NSW and
Australia.
The MAAA is the largest aeromodelling organisation in Australia
and encourages and supports Australians to enjoy aeromodelling
in a safe and fun environment. There are more than 300 MAAA
clubs and 11,000 members across the country. It is the combined
strength of these member clubs and members which enables
us to promote and support aeromodelling throughout Australia,
“aeromodellers working for aeromodellers”. Every state has a
representative on the MAAA.
A MAAA club is the perfect place to learn to fly and you can find a
club near you at
