I have been flying model aircraft and helicopters since about 2004. I belong to the Irene Radio Flyers club in Centurion, just outside Pretoria. It is a very active club with over 100 members. We have a main runway of about 140m and a slightly shorter cross runway for those days when the wind is a little offset.
Flying model aircraft allows me to relax and focus at the task at hand. My fun is flying in the regime close to the stall, seeing what manoeuvres can be pulled out the hat before control is lost.
