Mildura club
Sunraysia Aeromodellers played host for it's first 3D
Huckfest over the weekend of November 15
th and 16
th. Pilots from Melbourne and Sydney and even Broken Hill attended with most arriving Friday and some chose to even camp at the flying site. Eddie Edwards from
Tates performance Hobbies not only supported the event, but flew up Saturday in his own Cessna to take a closer look at the action.
Glen
Ure from
Austars models
www.austars-model.com flew his magnificent 3m yak with great skill and courage close to the ground which had the locals
fascinated with his 3d demo's.
With strong and sometimes gusty winds
prevailing for the entire weekend, this didn't
deter Glen form performing rolling
harriors, torque rolls and whatever else you could think of in a aggressive skillful manner. Glen took out the most entertaining award of course.
Luke from
Tates put on a great display with his ultimate yak powered by an impressive
Evo engine fitted with smoke. Luke even back the ultimate down to the ground in a cloud of smoke with his boss and actual owner of the plane Eddie Edwards watching over his shoulder..now that took guts!!!
"
Cashy" from Melbourne also put on some nice 3D flying with his impressive looking
DL50 powered Extra 300 from Extreme flight.
Saturday night saw a light tower arrive at the
field with many pilots taking to the
sky's with
heli's, electric
foamy's and profile fun
fly's.
The one pleasing sight was the amount of locals that actually joined in and flew during the course of the weekend. There was only one major crash for the weekend when "Little John" from
Broken Hill clipped the trees on Saturday, resulting in his father doing a 600km round trip back home to grab a back-up model..well done Dad!!!

Sunraysia club for hosting the event, also Luke from
Tates for all the behind the
scenes stuff. A special mention to the sponsors,
