Another great turn out to the annual Heliday at TMAC, the weather turned on a great day with no rain in sight. Many familiar faces & some new ones enjoyed a great day out.

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

As with keeping with the traditional TMAC Heliday fun fly the theme for the day was always about good food, plenty of space to fly & catching up with all of the heli community.

The day started with a pilot briefing & cooking up of some breakfast on the BBQ, which continued throughout the whole day. There were 39 registed pilots for the day from all over Qld.

Wayne Brooks from Brooknet was on site with the latest Outrage 50 FBL model & the latest Phoenix Simulator 3 for all to enjoy.

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

Josh from Concept Hobbies was on hand to demo the latest in electric scale models, complete with carry cases.

Lyle Mahon from RC Heli world had the latest in Mavrick blades, plus his fleet of MA choppers on site.

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 & RC Heli World for all your support & prize donations for Heliday 2011.

On a personal note I would like thank David Walker for all the event catering & field prep plus BBQ cooking, the day was a total success due to his efforts helping everyone throughout the day.

A big thank you to everyone who helped on the day, Dave Hayward, Jarred St Clare, Josh Stedman and Will Sipma.

Lastly but certainly not the least a big thank you to all the members and guest pilot who attended the day without your support the day couldn't be the huge success it is.

The winner of the T-Rex 450 Super sport Kit was a new pilot & the winner of the Phoenix Flight Sim was Henry.
