This event will be run over the Queen’s birthday long weekend (June 9-11, 2012). Some VMPRA members will be traveling to Maryborough, Qld. This is also on eof the selection events for the next F3D championships in the Netherlands from 24-28th July 2013.
The new event “F3R” will also be flown at this event as a demonstration event.
Good luck to all VMPRA members who are traveling up to Maryborough and competing. We look forward to seeing the results.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Hughan, who finally lost his battle with cancer on the morning of Jan 30, 2012.
John, a member at LDMFA for many year, started pylon racing back in 1969, and was an active participant until recent years.
He was present at the formation of The Australian Miniature Pylon Racing Association (AMPRA) and was elected to the position of President. A position that he held for some 23 years. He was chairman of the MAAA pylon technical sub committee, was involved at the state level through (VMPRA) and had also been a contributor to the Australian Airborne Model Magazine for 15 years – writing a regular pylon articles.
Our thoughts go out to his family at this most difficult time.
