All competitors must be financial members of the MAAA.

The rules are on the MAAA web site (https://www.maaa.asn.au/) and ASA web site. Competitors will check these web sites as the rules may be updated before the maters games. This is not a serious event and there will be some leniency in the rules for all events.
Extra fun events will be held e.g. night flying with a BBQ dinner. So, bring other models with you if you can!

Camping at the field is available if you are self-contained. There is no mains power available and only rainwater tanks. We do have BBQ facilities, toilets, hot showers and a black water dump point. If you wish to camp at the field, please let us know.
There will be catering at the field during the event. Breakfast and lunch will be available at a small cost.
There will also be a medal presentation dinner at the end of the event.
A reminder that for safety reasons this is not a spectator friendly sport.
