August 12, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world of radio-controlled aircraft has changed a lot since the last time Mark Brazier was flying.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Aero Modellers Society president John Box said Mark was an active member of the club during the 1980s and has recently rejoined.<\/p>\n

“Not only has he returned to the hobby that he enjoys, he has introduced his twin 15-year-old sons Dylan and Luke and their mate Riley Sudholz to the hobby of radio-controlled aeromodelling,” John said.<\/p>\n

“The boys have not taken long to master the skill required to successfully fly their models.<\/p>\n

“A lot has changed since Mark flew previously.\u00a0Members now use 2.4GHz radio systems which allow everybody to fly at the same time without interference from other flyers.<\/p>\n

“KAMS members also use simulators on their computers to learn the basics of flying before taking to the air and possibly damaging an aircraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Younger members find using simulators a great way to learn due to their exposure to multiple types of computer games.”<\/p>\n

John said KAMS has a buddy box training system with an electric-powered club trainer for interested visitors to have a go.<\/p>\n

KAMS members fly most Sunday mornings at their flying field at 884 Booie-Crawford Road – subject to favourable weather conditions – and currently have a height clearance approved by CASA to be able to fly up to 1000ft above ground level.<\/p>\n

John said the club would be conducting its annual fly-in later this year (October 17-18) and he expected aeromodellers from clubs across south-east Queensland to take part.<\/p>\n

Members of the community were also most welcome to come along.
