H
ello everyone, my name is
Malcolm Neale and a flying
member of the NMAS Club, l have put
my hand up for this job so l hope that l
can do it justice.
My first story is about a B52 Mitchell Bomber and its first
flight, although l witnessed the flying event the rest of this
info came from Craig Hewitt who was the lucky pilot.
The owner of the aircraft is Shayne O’Hara, and the
enthusiast who built her, the B52 Mitchell Bomber was bought
as an ARF plane from Model Flight back in 2009, Shayne
2
bought it as a legendary well known plane and has loved
it from day 1 as well as Craig. When he originally started
building her, Craig said to him just put it together and fly it,
and then once flown, you can do all of your scale work. But
one scale piece led to another and before you knew it, the
whole nature of the plane had changed.
Shayne has taken Model Scale building to a whole new
step; he has scratch built his own scale cockpit into the B25
including moving throttle yokes, and rotating turrets and a
servo operated bomb bay door. Not to mention the internally
housed switches that you turn the plane on and off by the
machine guns. This is only the surface of what he has done
to the plane. He has painted scale lines, exhaust fumes,
gunfire markings etc. It looks fantastic and definitely drew
the attention of other club members.
Her power plant involves 2XOS FL70 Four stroke motors,
and has electric oleo retracts.
On 14th of July 2003, four years after Shayne started the
build, we fired the engines up for the final tuning and setup,
and it was time to fly her. Craig set his DX18 up to his settings
the way he wanted to fly her on her maiden flight, rechecking
centre of gravity she was taxied out, lined up and went for it,
she lifted off perfectly and very little trim was used to correct
her, the aircraft performed fantastic considering how much
Craig was shaking.... four years of building her, and the
money and effort that went into all of this, with shaking hands
Craig flew her around several circuits and bought her in for
a landing, lining her up with the runway, wheels down and a
perfect touchdown, Well done Craig.
Two flights were completed safely and two relieved and
happy pilots sat down to enjoy their achievements.
Craig and Shayne would like to thank Wayne Miller for
his ongoing support, time and effort with the setting up of the
B52; They extend their gratitude, Many thanks Wayne.
South Hummocks Model Aero Club
W
ell what a month of bad weather
we have just had, great if you had
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday off, as
it seemed these days were perfect every
week LOL! Our club put its flying day back
a week, as we were hosting the Scale
Society the following weekend. Anthony & myself still made
it to the normal club day & although a little windy had a great
days flying, with the field to ourselves. Come the Scale day
& the wind & rain decided to come too. The track was a
river and we were surprised at how many still turned up, with
Amthony and Dave sneak in a flight
between showers.
job again Rod. It was a perfect day so we all fired a plane or
glider up & took to the skies, while we waited for our guests
to arrive. Unfortunately for them they didn’t arrive till the sun
was setting & missed out on Friday’s fly. I had packed up
ready to head home while Kelvin was grabbing the last of the
light, flying his Escale Fox Glider. What an afternoons flying
we had. The IMAC lads had a great Saturday practice I was
told, in perfect conditions, but as always the wind decided
to shut the show down on the Sunday of the competition.
So after a hearty BBQ lunch, cooked by the SHMAC boys &
Anthony with his Edge 540.
around 20 people snuggled in the shelter out of the rain &
around the fire most of the day. A couple of the blokes were
having a quick 5 minutes in the air between the rain clouds,
oh! & to look for a scale society member who was lost! After
another delicious BBQ lunch, with apple or apricot pie & cream
for dessert, YUM! Trevor from the scale society gave a great
talk on Tuning Gas motors & Welbro carburettors, thanks
Trevor! It was a busy month out at the South Hummocks
with the IMAC boys due out the weekend after the scale
society & with a few of them being very keen to camp out the
weekend. Anthony, Kelvin, Rod & myself headed out to the
field on the Friday to welcome them. When I arrived, Club
President Rod had just left after finishing the cutting of the
strip & I must say it looked immaculate! Thanks for a great
IMAC guys about to do their stuff.
no flying on the day, the IMAC crew left. To both the Scale
Society & the IMAC members I hope we have better weather
the next time you visit! Thanks for taking the time to travel
out to the club. Oh! also heard Kelvin & Anthony have been
out practicing some Aero Towing mid-week. Well that’s about
it for this month, lets hope the weather treats us better in
August,
Cheers ChuckT (more images page 23)

F1L
I
f you have built and flown a Hangar Rat, an F1L duration
model is well within reach. The reason I say this, is
because the Victorian Free Flight Society is holding a State
Champs including F1D and F1L in November this year. If you
are interested in coming along, there’s plenty of time to build
a model…
A few of us will definitely be going over, as we did two
years ago, to match our skills. If you remember last time,
Max Newcombe and I secured first and second place in
F1D which paved the way for our trip to the Belgrade World
Champs in 2012.
However the F1L class was also hotly contested and is
an area the VICs have excelled in over the years. My own
F1L managed the best single time at that event (just over 10
minutes) but was beaten for the title by two more consistent
long flights by Sean O’Connor (VFFS).
way there to making an F1D... Just saying. 

On Sat 9 November this year at Ingle Farm Recreation
Centre, we will hold an informal duration practice night as part
of the usual Free Flight indoor session at that venue. This is
for flyers to get some last minute practice for the VFFS State
Champs and F1D Team Trial on Sun 24 of that month.
Spectators (free) and flyers are very welcome to come
along on any of these Ingle Farm nights. But if you’ve been
thinking about building a ‘lightweight’ then maybe this Nov 9
(7:30pm-10pm) is the time is right to give one a go.
The basic rules for F1L (previously known as EZB) are
as follows:
Wingspan, maximum projected : 457.2 mm
Wing chord maximum: 76.2 mm
Stabiliser area maximum: 50% of wing.
The models are all solid balsa (including prop blades),
rubber power (no limit), and minimum airframe weight of
1.2gram.
There are plenty of designs available online (try Hippocket
Aeronautics or Indoor News Aand Views) or send me a note if
you want to know more – or if you need help with materials.

No. 03/2013
Message from the MAAA President Neil Tank
MAAA LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES - CASA DEED OF AGREEMENT
The MAAA is appointed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as the only
Recreational Aviation Administrative Organisation (RAAO) for model aviation in
Australia.
In accordance with this appointment, the MAAA must fulfill a number of legal
responsibilities as part of a Deed of Agreement. The new Deed for the 2013/2014 year
is about to be signed by the Executive.
An authority for self-administration
Being an RAAO provides the MAAA with an authority for self-administration. In short
this means that a number of legislative duties and responsibilities assigned to CASA
have been delegated to the MAAA.
Examples members would be familiar with are: heavy model inspections; the ability to
approve public displays at MAAA affiliated fields; to set and monitor safety standards;
to investigate model aircraft incidents; to implement corrective action and to
participate in night flying – to name a few.
… if flying under
the auspices of the
MAAA, then all
individuals doing
so must be
members.
What are the requirements for an Organisation to be appointed?
 To be appointed as an RAAO the organisation must satisfy the following
requirements: Have in place an appropriate organisational form, a sound
management structure and an appropriate governance framework;
 Have ready call on a sufficient number of operationally and technically
competent persons, with clearly articulated responsibilities and lines of
accountability; and
 Maintain an appropriate suite of operational and technical materials, covering
in sufficient scope and depth, all pertinent (i.e. safety related) aspects of the
aviation activities in which the organisation’s members engage.
In other words, the RAAO is expected to utilise the people, processes and
structures to set and administer specified safety standards.
Safety is the priority
RAAOs are required to demonstrate a level of conduct which provides CASA with
confidence that safety is the priority of the organisation.
The RAAO must demonstrate that it actively supports the concept of “protecting
the privilege to fly, rather than the right to fly”.
How is the appointment of an RAAO administered?
The appointment as an RAAO is administered through a Deed of Agreement
between CASA and the RAAO, in this case the MAAA. Other organisations such as
Hang Gliding and Parachuting have separate deeds.
12
Message from the MAAA President Neil Tank (continued)
Who is covered by the Deed of Agreement?
All members of the Organisation are covered and bound by the conditions
stipulated in the RAAO appointment and Deed of Agreement. This includes
the MAAA, all Ordinary Members (State Associations) and Affiliate Members
and Clubs.
What compliance conditions are attached to the Deed of Agreement?
The MAAA must oversee members’ activities and assure CASA these activities
are being conducted safely.
The MAAA must:
 seek to ensure that all members and member clubs of the Association
operate their model aircraft in accordance with the applicable Civil Aviation
Regulations, the MAAA Manual of Procedures and directives of the MAAA;
 monitor the operational standards and procedures of member clubs and
rectify any deficiencies detected to ensure compliance with the MAAA
Manual of Procedures and other applicable MAAA directives;
 on behalf of the Authority, investigate alleged breaches of the Civil
Aviation Regulations and Civil Aviation Safety Regulation 101: Subparts A,
B, C and G by operators of model aircraft;
 examine the results of incident and accident investigations to ensure that
standards have been complied with; and
 provide quarterly statistical reporting in relation to the numbers of MAAA
members, accidents and incidents.
As an RAAO, the MAAA must ensure all members comply with its rules.
How does the MAAA comply with its legal requirements?
The MAAA must assure CASA that they are providing appropriate oversight
of their sport aviation activities and appropriately managing risks. CASA
satisfies itself that this is in fact happening by conducting yearly audits.
The MAAA President
Neil Tank
Telephone 0439 517539
Primary responsibility for its members
As an RAAO, the MAAA accepts primary responsibility for ensuring
individual members of the RAAO act in accordance with their obligations.
The responsibility for dealing with negligent, errant or refractory individuals
remains with the MAAA.
Where persistent, repeated or blatant breaches of CASA’s standards occur
CASA can escalate disciplinary matters and prosecute these as breaches of
the Civil Aviation Act.
What does CASA Expect?
CASA expects all appointed RAAOs to have in place good Corporate
Governance practices.
The three main components of Corporate Governance are:
 Compliance – how the organisation effectively achieves its statutory
and regulatory responsibilities
 Assurance – providing confidence that things are happening the way
they should and
 Risk management
13
from page 12
Executive Members
The MAAA’s practices and procedures satisfy all of the requirements for
good Corporate Governance.
What does this mean to members?
In short it allows the MAAA, State Association and Clubs to administer their
own affairs, to be in charge of their own destiny.
If not covered by the RAAO appointment and Deed of Agreement, all action in
respect to approvals for particular functions, investigation of incidents and
breaches of the Civil Aviation Act would be conducted by CASA and a fee
would be charged; under the Deed, the RAAO is delegated the responsibility
for doing this.
If your club wants to run a public display at your Club field, then the
MAAA/State Association can approve the appropriate permits; no charge is
levied on the Club.
Tahn Stowe – MAAA Vice
President
If breaches of the CASA regulations occur, CASA allows the RAAO to conduct
its own investigation and take corrective action without the necessity of
entering into the legal process.
What responsibilities do State Associations, Clubs and Affiliate Members
have?
State Associations, Clubs and Affiliate Members of the MAAA, as part of the
corporate structure, also have a responsibility to ensure all terms and
conditions of the Deed of Agreement are complied with.
How does the MAAA ensure compliance?
The MAAA ensures compliance through a number of ways:
 by the maintenance of MOPs;
 the investigations of all reported incidents involving model aircraft;
and
 the oversight and approval of corrective action.
Brian Dowie – MAAA Treasurer
P O Box 88 Endeavour Hills
VIC 3802
Telephone 03 9555 9445
How does the State Association, Club and Affiliate member ensure
compliance?
On receipt of the MAAA membership card, all members undertake to comply
with all MAAA MOPs.
This is a condition of membership.
What effect does this have on Club Membership?
To be able to satisfy the conditions of appointment as an RAAO and the
conditions of the Deed of Agreement, the MAAA must satisfy CASA it can
exercise control over its membership.
The MAAA can only exercise this influence over model aircraft enthusiasts
who have full membership of the organisation. Non-members cannot be
compelled to comply.
If flying under the auspices of the MAAA then all individuals doing so must be
members.

Ross Cant Comp. Rules Secretary
PO Box 670 Mount Lawley
WA 6929
If flying under the auspices of the MAAA then all individuals doing so must be members
In short any club or group that is a member of the MAAA (be it through a State
Association or not) has to have all its members registered (being affiliate members of)
through the MAAA. This is the only way in which the MAAA can be confident that it is
complying with all requirements of the RAAO appointment and Deed of Agreement.
The above is not to infer that non-members flying model aircraft do not do so safely,
however if flying under the auspices of the MAAA then all individuals doing so must be
members, whether that be by obtaining full membership or in accordance with the
MAAA Visitor’s Policy: MOP 042.

Kevin Dodd – MAAA Secretary
16 Illidge Road Victoria Point
QLD 4165
At the close of the 2012/13 membership year, 10,815 members were
registered with MAAA. This represents 99.40% of the total renewals, based on
2011/12 figures. In member terms, this is 62 members fewer than this time
last year. Of this number, 1,204 were new members or members who were
returning to model flying after some years’ absence. I welcome these new
members and congratulate our clubs who work hard to promote model flying in
their communities and in doing so, attract and support those who are new to
the sport. 9,590 members renewed their membership with MAAA and this
represents the highest percentage of renewing members for quite some years.
I know that the State Associations, who together make up the MAAA,
appreciate your support and look forward to serving you in future years.
Items from the MAAA 2013 Council Conference
Promotion
An amount of $10,000 was included in the Budget for promotion/advertising to
be administrated by the MAAA Executive. State Associations and clubs are
invited to apply for a grant to assist with promotion of their activities in the
2013/14 period. Applications should be accompanied by supporting details and
be sent to the MAAA Secretary for consideration by the MAAA Executive.

Short Term Loans and MAAA Assistance to Obtain Property
At the Conference it was agreed that the MAAA Executive would approve short term loans up to $20,000. It was
also decided that State Associations no longer had to underwrite loans. Applications for loans should still be
made through the State Association to the MAAA.

Incident Reports
Injuries Caused by Electric Powered Models
In the last MAAA Newsletter an item on a ‘Safety Tag System’ was published (courtesy of MASA), which can be
easily adapted to any electric powered model and provides a visual indication that the electric system is not
armed and is safe to be handled. Since then, there has been another very serious incident caused by an electric
powered model. After a ‘heavy landing’ the pilot of a large model (equivalent 50cc size motor) picked up the
model without disarming to carry it back to the pits. Unfortunately his transmitter, which was supported by a
neck strap, brushed his body and the throttle was moved to full power. The resulting injuries to the member’s
fingers, hands and body were extremely serious, requiring hospitalisation. Accidents such as this are happening
more often. Simply disarming your electric model after landing may save you a lot of pain and suffering.
It was additionally reported that the member involved in this incident was operating alone from a remote flying
field. Fortunately he had and could still use his mobile phone to call for medical assistance.
Both these situations should serve as a reminder that there are dangers in our sport and constant vigilance and
some simple sensible routines are required to remain safe.
