Video Highlights. Following on from the great VE Day Fly-In last year, Wimborne MAC held their second Warbird Fly-In Event on the 9th May to commemorate VE Day. The flight line was filled from end to end with warbirds of all sizes. From 1/5th scale through to 70 mm EDF jets. Many P47's, Mustangs P51d's Me109's, FW190 and a P40 Warhawk. Lancaster, B25 Mitchell, US Army A24 Banshee (Dauntless) plus a good number of turbine jets. Guest pilots from other clubs enjoyed the event too. One winning the award for Best Flight and Best Model, the A24 Banshee, the US Army version of the US Navy's Dauntless. Congratulations to Dave Lucas.

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.

Hawker Typhoon from CY Models China. 84 inch wingspan. Powered by a 3W 55i with a Pitts style muffler. Savox 20kg servos all round. The full size had no problem with C of G balance with the 2000 HP Napier engine but for modellers this entailed lots of lead in the nose mostly in the cowl itself and a big brass propellor lock nut. A scale aluminum spinner all helps too.
