BRMFC stages an annual fly-In on a date somewhere between February and April starting at 10.00AM and running through to around 3.30PM. (Its always best to try and get there before midday.) Grab the latest
advertising flyer
here in PDF format. We try to have the latest one available at least a couple of months before the
event. (If the date shown on the flyer above or file date displayed in the tooltip when you hover over the links
is for last year then the file is yet to be updated.)
Do yourself a favour and mark the date of our next Fly-In on your calendar. See the Events Calendar for the date of our next event.
As noted above, we have to cancel the event should the day be declared a total fire ban in the South West fire district. If a raffle should be in progress, it will be drawn on the day or as soon as possible thereafter.
The winner will notified and posted on the Latest News page.
This is where you get an opportunity
to see a vast array of different types of radio
controlled model aircraft. The types of models featured varies but usually includes
military aircraft from WW1, WW2 and post WW2, civilian aircraft, multi engined and
sometimes we manage to have helicopters.
To give the kids some extra entertainment we do two or three lolly drops during
the day which has proven to be very popular. A canteen with hot food and hot/cold
drinks is available all day at modest prices. (Because we sell food to the public
a temporary food permit is obtained from the Pyrenees Shire Council.)
We invite modelers from around the state to join in on the day. Our members then reciprocate throughout the year to help other clubs with their events.
We use this event to promote aeromodelling in the hope that it will attract people
to the sport/hobby. It's quite a feeling of achievement to assemble or build your
own model aircraft then be able to take it off fly it around and land it back on
the runway. It doesn't matter how many times you do it, it still gives you a buzz.
To assist with the preparation of the event we ask pilots who intend to fly to send an email to the
Event Director
indicating that you intend to enter.
As an incentive for other modellers to participate, we always have some give aways, prizes and/or trophies.
