Nick Somerville Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Went today and had an enjoyable time. £5 entry on the gate is ridiculously cheap for what for many would be a whole day’s entertainment. Lots of trade stands, which meant I could buy a number of sundries needed and some cheap bits and bobs from the ‘car booters’. The flight line appeared quite relaxed with a diverse range of models being flown. For modellers who like all aspects of the hobby there were an array of scale boats, model railway and military ground based displays (flipping big tanks trundelling around). Given the event is in it’s early years I reckon it was a pretty good do. Real Model Pilots had a 50% off their products for the show and 20% off for orders of pilots they didn’t have in stock. I ordered one of their specific ones for FW 190’s for my latest build 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom (Essential RC) Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Brilliant event. So much busier on the Saturday than last year and a really appreciative crowd on the flight line of the diverse RC aircraft demonstrated. My local show so I'll always do my best to participate. I got lots of flying in with my turbine foamy Avanti, 280mph Ultra Flash turbine sport jet and 14S EDF 1.9m Sebart Avanti sport jet so had a lot of fun. Thanks to BMFA Southern Area and Derrick on commentary. My little fan club even turned up to cheer me on...

Bucksboy Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I went with a modelling mate and we both enjoyed the show. The flying was great with different models to that I saw at Wings and Wheels. The trade show was bigger than I imagined and everything seemed well organised. As we left I found out that it was only the second show, I was even more impressed. We’ll certainly return next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
