About John Schmidli

A Life Member of LDMFA, I have been flying r/c model aircraft for 36 years and pylon racing on and off since then. Originally flew Sport pylon and then F400, since coming back to pylon racing in 2010, I now fly Q500, F3T & E2K.

Event Report – Echuca April 2026

Back on April 21-22, we had an event up in Echuca at one of the VMAA state fields. The conditions of the field were really quite good considering how dry it had been; there had been some rain in the lead-up, improving the grass covering.

We only flew the F3T Q500 and E2K classes this weekend, as F3D fliers elected not to compete. The weather turned out to be fantastic: beautiful sunny days each day, a little bit warm, not too hot, and just light breezes. All in all, a really great weekend.
