Event Day - Heli Day 2010 Page 1

Another great turn out to the annual Heliday at TMAC, the weather started badly & there were several small spots of rain that did not stop the fun, merely allowed everyone to grab a bite to eat from the BBQ. Many familiar faces & some new ones enjoyed a great day out.

Dave Walker & Jarred StClare arrived early to setup the BBQ for breakfast & prep the field for all the members & guests of the day.

As this years organiser I was pulling double duty with pilot briefing & cooking on the BBQ, based on a familiar format of lots of good food & a relaxing flying program it was soon yet another successful event.

Wayne Brooks from Brooknet was on site with a laptop setup with the latest Phoenix Simulator 2.5 for all to enjoy.

Rick from Revolution RC had a stall on site to shop case his latest gear, Greg Gilles from R/C Fuel supplies had a few of the ELQ Helis for all to try out.

Gavin & Dan from Heli Hoods & Grafix were on hand performing some demo flights, in between helping several pilots sort out their various setups & general heli queries.

There were many pilots with both electric & nitro powered choppers, some even brought along their favourite scale chopper for all to enjoy & photograph.

Many thanks to all the sponsors; Brooknet, Taiwa (Watts Up RC), Revolution RC & R/C Fuel Supplies for all your support & prize donations for Heliday 2010.

A big thank you to everyone who helped on the day, Dave Walker, Dave Hayward, Jarred StClare, Josh Stedman, Gary Lampard and Dennis .

The winner of the T-Rex 450S CF Raffle was David Lowery & the winner of the Phoenix Flight Sim was Ben Lampard.
