LISTING DETAILS
|
The skies will come alive on October 17& 18th 2009. with the TopGun Downunder event shaping up to be the biggest RC jet event ever held in Queensland. Top pilots from Queensland & throughout Australia will be performing. There will be around 1 million dollars of models performing, sounding, and looking like their full size counterparts. This is possibly the last opportunity for the Suncoast Model Flyers to showcase their models before they face losing their flying field. This year will see the introduction of the “TOPGUN PILOT” award for “the visiting pilot who makes the greatest contribution to the success of the event”. The organisers are hopeful of a “world first public display” of an unique jet nearing completion at the moment.
Gate charges will be $10 adults, $5 kids, toddlers free, $22 family (2 adults, 2 kids). Gates open at 8:30am, display starts at 9.30am. Food and drink will be available from several vendors. A bouncing castle and face painting will be available for the littlies.
The Sunshine Coast climate is very favourable for R/C flying. Winds are generally light easterly to north-easterly. A number of events are hosted by the club each year including various State Titles and the ever growing Coolum 1000 aerobatics competition. Spectators and visiting current FAI flyers are most welcome to join us for a fly or a friendly chat at the field. For those interested in getting into the great sport of Remote Control Flying, our club offers free flight training for all new members.

The Suncoast Model Flyers are based near Coolum on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. There are currently over 130 members ranging from just 5 years old to late 70's. |
