October 18, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something a little bit different to do this weekend, how about heading on down to the KAMS Flying Field to check out some amazing model aircraft in action?<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Aero Modellers Society (KAMS) is once again celebrating the sport aeromodelling with a two-day fly-in at Booie.<\/p>\n

KAMS president John Box said the weekend would be a great opportunity to introduce the next generation to this fast-growing family sport.<\/p>\n

There will be an opportunity to experience the adrenalin rush and thrill of model flight in a safe and controlled environment.<\/p>\n

Members of the South Burnett Antique Motor Club will also be joining in the activities on Sunday morning, bringing along a variety of vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the fifth annual event run by KAMS.<\/p>\n

Flying will start at 8:00am on both days.<\/p>\n

Morning tea will be available at 10:00am on Sunday and there’ll also be a sausage sizzle and cold drinks available on site all day Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy fly-in follows hot on the heels of the FAI World Championship for Pylon Racing Model Aircraft which attracted some of the world’s best flyers to the Maryborough Aeromodellers Club recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event attracted competitors from 13 nations in two categories:\u00a0 F3D fuel-powered and F5D electric-powered.<\/p>\n

Members of the Kingaroy Aero Modellers Society were keen to attend the biannual event which was last held in Australia eight years ago.<\/p>\n

KAMS president John Box nominated to be a volunteer official and spent two days of the championship as a judge at the second pylon on the course, sitting behind a protective wire safety barrier very close to the action.<\/p>\n

The competition was as intense as expected with 40-year-old Australian ace, Christopher Callow from the Sunshine Coast, clinching his sixth world title in F3D by 7.16 points from 21-year-old Emil Broberg, from Sweden.\u00a0Australia won the teams event.<\/p>\n

In the F5D electric class, Australian Tyler Mees came in third and Australia was second in the teams event.<\/p>\n

The radio-controlled aircraft completed 10 laps of the 400-metre triangular course in times as low as 55.6 seconds at speeds exceeding 350km\/h for both fuel and electric-powered aircraft.<\/p>\n
