21 MAAALogo. Boomerang 60, which was powered by a 120 AX and surprised many of the glider pilots as it towed their glider to 1000ft with ease.” Philip says the overall success of the event was thanks to the help of the VMAA and the club committee. However, he also acknowledges David and Lorraine Lovell and Bev Daynes for their impressive feat in providing lunch and a two-course dinner for more than forty happy pilots. “Our thanks must also go to all the pilots that came so far to fly with us. Also, to the Grampians Soaring Club for their cooperation and for allowing us to use their hangars for overnight storage in excess of forty fully rigged models with room for many more,” he says. “Special thanks to the tug pilots: Ross, Keith, Anthony, Andrew, John and Dave; without them the gliders would not have left the ground. Also thanks to Andrew Neil Downing for a great job taking some amazing photos.” Check out more photos from the event by searching for the club’s Facebook page: @grampiansmodelflyingclub https://www.facebook.com/ groups/141846206584519/
