MESSAGE
It’s the time of year when our minds
turn towards preparing Christmas
feasts, secret Santa’s and present
wrapping. From new transmitters to
your first model aircraft, there’s a lot
of fun to be had, but as every seasoned
pilot knows, it’s important not to lose
any fingers!
This edition of Wingspan contains some timely reminders for
both new pilots and veterans on how to have a fun, safe flight.
You can see the work of talented MAAA Member, Luke Cullen, who
has done a superb job of painting a range of aircraft across the
country.
We’ve got tips from some of the country’s prominent modellers
about basic plane maintenance, hear about upcoming events
around the country and the MAAA offers some tips to clubs on
management matters.
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.
The American Academy of Model Aeronautics recently released
an aspirational video that you can see at
http://discoverflight.orgLike our American counterparts, the MAAA want to innovate, lead
and protect the future of our sport. By joining our community,
you can share the passion and pride you have in your sport and

Neil Tank
