Happy New Year to you all and I hope everyone got through without too much pain and suffering on the
credit card.
For me a quiet family Xmas, a short break
from work then back to the grindstone. I did

Congratulations Max.
You will all be aware by now our Treasurer
Robin Klau resigned at the last committee
meeting held on the 30th January. Robin has
put the books into the auditors for a hand
over Audit and in the interim the Secretary
Darryl Gunst will take over the position of
Treasurer/Registrar until the committee appoints another person to take over or until
0D[)XOKDPZLWKKLV¿UVWWUDLQHU0D[UHEXLOWDQGSDLQWHGWKLV
the election at the next AGM in September.
Ranger 40, powered by gms 40 and hitec radio.
We have had some interest in the position
and if you feel you have the expertise to take
on this role please contact me for more details on what is involved. The committee will be looking to appoint someone to this position by the end
of March. 2010.
This year I have asked our Editor and CFI to make sure the Queensland events calendar is kept as up
WRGDWHDVSRVVLEOHERWKRQWKHZHEVLWHDQGDOVRLQWKH$LUÀRZ
If your club has not provided information on your 2010 calendar to the CFI Michael please do so as
soon as possible. Also remember to send Doug our editor your advertising of the event and also a report and photos after the event.
It is our intention to try and make AirÀRZDPDJD]LQHWKDWKDVPRUHXSWR
date and relevant information with
lots of photos of what’s happening in
Queensland.
The MAAQ has decided to hold an
Inter-club challenge in 2010.
The basis of the challenge is to promote the interaction of aero modellers
throughout Queensland through the
running of an inter-club challenge to be
held on an annual basis.

Fagan from SAAMBR. Called the Beachcomber.

near future to all clubs.
So start putting your team together and getting your club shirts, caps, banners etc ready and come
along and support your team.

What you will need to do is provide the MAAQ Secretary with the details for each sanctioned event and
he will arrange for the trophies to be engraved and posted to the appropriate person/ CD for presentation to the winners. Enough time will need to be given to enable the Secretary to process the request
so please think ahead and get your requests in early. Any questions please contact me or the Secretary.

I found this article in a

date when it was written.
The author is well
known in the F/F world
DQGLVVWLOOÀ\LQJPRGHOV
to this day.
Although I believe it
was probably true at the
time and in succeeding
years, we have come
a long way since then
and most modelers are
prepared to pitch in

contests.
As you would all be
aware by now the 64th
Nationals will be held in
and around Dalby at the
end of this year.
The National’s Committee is looking for volunteers to assist them in
the smooth running of
many events.
In particular we are
looking for Contest Directors for a number of
events.
If you are prepared to
help in any way please
contact a member of the

Wet weather access road to the Dalby Model Aero Club completed.
Stage two of the Dalby Model Aero club development programme has been completed with
the transporting of over 1000 Tons of crushed roadbase being used to provide all weather
access to the Club facility on the Cecil Plains Road.
Access to the new Dalby Field has been a problem in the past during inclement weather as
visitors have found from time to time. The Club realised this when the decision to relocate
was made and consequently made provision in the development plan to address the black
soil situation.
With the 64th Nationals being awarded to Dalby the access road had to be upgraded as
several of the Nationals events are scheduled to be held at the Club facility. There will be a

East West strip and later in the year the Control Compound between the two pit areas will
be completed in time for the 64th Nationals.
The DMAC encourages all modellers to visit and make use of its facilities both now and into
the future.

Christmas and New Year has come and gone
and I hope all members had a ‘relaxing’ time
over the break.
During my travels I managed to get to a few
clubs , one being Hervey Bay Model Aero
Club and found a very energetic group of
members , some of which can be seen below.

facilities for accommodation. If successful this will be a low
cost, no frills style of accommodation. Keep a lookout on

recent years.
The star is used to highlight the Dalby region and its location
in Queensland.
DON’T FORGET THE DATES
29 December 2010 – 7 January 2011
Twice this summer the residents of Dalby have had a special
request made of them to reduce water consumption to allow
the treatment plant to catch up supply in the town reservoirs.
The town has never ‘run out of water’. The problem arose
after several days of above normal usage depleting the
available treated water supply to 40% of reservoir capacity
when the council aims to maintain the town reservoirs at 80%.
A new treatment plant is under construction and should be on
line well before the 64th Nationals.
New Nationals Logo
Recently the 64th Nationals Logo received an upgrade. The
changes were made to more accurately describe the Nationals
Event.
Explanation of the Logo
The Triangular shape was chosen for its similarity with the
shape of the State of Queensland.
The colours used are from the Western Downs Regional
Council logo to describe the region; Blue - To symbolise the
sky, Red - To symbolise the Soil & Resources and Dark Green
– To symbolise the Fields.
The slogan ‘Friendliness – Open Spaces’ was coined from a

truly gone and here we
are already two months
into the New Year. I hope
everyone had a great
Christmas and I wish you
all a prosperous New

The past months have been rather quiet up to

Robin Klau, submitted his resignation from the
MAAQ Committee to take effect from February
28th 2010. This has put the MAAQ Committee on notice as to how we are going to control
WKH¿QDQFHVRIWKH0$$4PHPEHUVHWF,WLV
a known fact that Robin has been a staunch
member of the committee and has implemented
several new directives in advancing the operation of our Association. I wish Robin the best
and ask that you give him your congratulations
on a good job when he visits your club.
It now appears that as per the MAAQ Rules, I
am to replace Robin until either an alternative
person can be found, or the next AGM. I am
not excited at being the Treasurer and will be
seeking the alternative to take on these duties.
Anyone interested, please let the President
know.
In the mean time, I ask for your patience and
assistance while I get my brain into gear and
learn the task that Robin did so well. The plan
at the moment is for all Treasurer and Registrar
communication to be sent to me for processing.

There have been several changes with the

MAAQ are required to nominate the Trial Inspector. This new additional requirement brings
all the inspector applications into line with each
other.
While on the subject of Inspectors, Members are
informed that the MAAA have decided to incorporate the early Turbine Inspectors into the same
level as both Heavy Model Inspector, with Turbine
Inspection approval. So now all Turbine Inspectors are able to inspect aircraft within their weight
level.
There has been a new system introduced to

Well not really totally a new club, Mt Isa
Model Aero club has come back on board
after being ‘absent’ for a few years. I hope
they enjoy being part of this great sport.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
the Dalby club for their fantastic welcome
and hospitality in hosting the February 2010
General Meeting.
It was great to go and look at new National
Championship venues and although we had
little time to actually mingle with the many
members during the day, we did take the opSRUWXQLW\WRKDYHDZL]EDQJVWHDNDQGYHJies sit down meal with the club and converse
on aero modelling during the dinner.
With what I saw and the evidence of the
hard work that has been done so far, I am
positive that we have chosen the right venue
for hosting our Nationals.

A fair number of spectators and buyers
turned up and purchased a lot more items
from the sale of the late Ron Morrison’s
equipment. Thanks to all who came and supported a good cause, particularly the BFFS
members.
We did have the BBQ however under the
protection of a large tarp over the eating
area.
This event will now be re-scheduled for later
in the year and we hope for a good roll up.
Watch the MAAQ Calendar and your e-mails
for the new date.

The MAAQ have organized a great event where
all clubs can participate in a get together of
members dedicated to have fun.
The MAAQ Interclub Challenge is a set of six
HDV\ WR FRPSOHWH ³FRPSHWLWLRQV´ ZKHUH FOXEV
nominate one of their members to enter an event
and compete with each other. There will be a
total of 5 events such as unusual model, musical
landing, fun fly, ARF scale, helicopter event,
glider, and so on. The club can drop one event,
with the remaining score added together to give
a winning club.
The actual events will be announced around end
of March. Every event will be designed to be
simple without specialized models, or having to
be a experienced competition flyer. You will be
able to practice at your own field.
Entry is free to everyone. Clubs are encouraged
to wear their club tee shirt, fly the club banner,
bring a team supporting group to cheer them on
and of course help with running the event.
This, the first event, will be hosted by LARCS.
It is expected that the winning club will have the
offer to host the event for the following year.
That will not be compulsory.
LARCS will have the canteen
open for food and drinks
through out the day.
Also, LARCS will have a
Swap and Sell on the
same day. So while not
flying, you can barter
and
buy
yourself
a
bargain, or sell your
lovable model no longer
needed.
In conjunction with the MAAQ Interclub
Challenge, LARCS invite you to participate in
their Sell - Buy and Swap meet on
August 28th 2010.
The idea is to bring along your
unwanted goodies and have fun bartering
with fellow modelers trying to get the best
bargain possible.
Entry to sell will be by gold coin
donation. Bring your table, chair
and umbrella and set yourself up with
placards, signs, but no load haulers.
Shop keepers interested in a stall should
contact Mike Ross 07 3341 6363 for more
details.
Starting time is 9am, (8am to set up) and
stay till your sold out!!
You can sell anything, not just modeling gear.
Keep your eye on the LARCS website
www.larcs.com.au
for up to date information.

We were greeted with early wind this day and, although the Scramble started early, there were some
long retrieves and damaged models. This caused very low times for most competitors although the

This was still not enough to give them a look in and current design F1Js took all 3 places.

The Night Scramble on the previous
night proved to be a great crowd pleaser (as it always does). The weather
was calm and cool, with lightning in the
distance. The spectators were lined up
in comfortable deck chairs with food,
drink and cameras. They were not
to be disappointed as models circled

Expressions of Interest
Calling all r/c pilots, do you have a scale sailplane, a capable
tug or an interest in flying either?
We are trying to get together everyone in the SEQLD region
who would like to be involved in regular gatherings.
A couple of events have been held in the past but we have
had issues with tug availability, field conditions and
notification of events. There are now a number of very capable
tugs and pilots available for our use.
Model sailplanes from 1.5 to 6m+ span can be successfully
aerotowed. Tugs are mostly 30 to 100cc.
We also require some venues. Large, flat and smooth fields
with uncluttered approaches are best. If your club is interested
in hosting a day please let us know.
Scale Soaring Australia http://www.scalesoaringaustralia.com
is a body already set up to promote R/C Scale Soaring and
Aerotowing. Information and notice of events will be available
on its web site.
