flew straight off the building board! I ended up not having Snoopy’s Dog House, Pterodactyl, Witch on a Broomstick
to change anything and managed to get in quite a lot of (last seen flown by WMAC’s Norm Dalziel), etc. So
good flights finishing twelfth out of 26 who recorded times. there’s my challenge to all attendees of next year’s Nats.
Had the engine not been such a pig and started more It’s all about participating and having fun and you can walk
easily, I could have ended up even further up the placings. after your plane in the event, it doesn’t need to be a fitness
But that wasn’t important, having fun was what it was all contest. And if you’re not attending the Nats, build a fun
about! model to raise a smile at your club field. Give it a go!

So my motive for this article is to challenge others out
there to build a fun model for Aggy next year. Sorry, the
Pink Pig idea is taken but there are lots of other
possibilities,,,,,flying fish, flying saucer, toilet seat,
