Western Port Model Aircraft Club – Q500 and Sports Pylon Race – May 21, 2023
WPMAC – Q500 and Sports Pylon Race
Event Report – Warrnambool, March 2023
Unfortunately, we haven’t received a report for this event. I can tell you that all who attended enjoyed being back at Warrnambool. Please check below the results and championship standings. Various people also took some photos, which can be found at the Event Gallery link below. Sorry, I have forgotten who you are, but I appreciate your contributions.
Regarding event reports, I’m looking for volunteers to write reports for future race events. It doesn’t have to be an essay. It can just be a few paragraphs. Just to give readers a feel for the event. That would be great.
