Wimborne MAC Annual Memorial Fun Day 2026. Highlights of the event. Six hours compressed into 26 mins. A warm sunny day with a slight cross wind which gusted up at various times. Field grass yellow after repeated heat waves and no rain. Fortunately the runway still stands out from the field. Virtually a full house for this event with some vehicles in the over flow car park. An excellent day was agreed by all there. Highlights of the day include the P51D Mustang, Corsair, FW190. Aerobatics and EDF Jet flights. Again we had the chuck glider fun comp which enabled everyone regardless of their flying capability to join in. More laughter rather than actual flight. No guarantee where they will land....

Highlights of the Wimborne Model Aero Club Annual Scale Day Event. Weather was warm but overcast in the morning with a light crosswind. By late morning and into the afternoon blue skies arrived but the crosswind became much stronger. Crosswinds kept pilots on their toes which meant longer landings but we had no incidents, except some Oops! Tip overs. A Corsair was unable to retract gear unfortunately.

Saturday 1 st March 2025. Breezy from the East but down the runway. Full Sun, nearing double figures degrees. Recently purchased from another WMAC member Phil F, Matt's new acquistion a PC21 being test flown by Jon T our popular test pilot. When Phil F bought this this it was half the price it is now (£699 GBP) Factor in a Motor, ESC plus two decent size lipos we are pushing near a £1000 GBP model! Due to the weak original nose leg the PC21 has been modified with a Eflite nose retract and standard wire leg.
