On Sunday January 30th, Jeff Sussman and Matt Carmichael from the Melbourne Helicopter Club visited GMAC to test club members for their bronze wings

Despite 40 degree temperatures and gusting winds up to 46km/hr, the day was a huge success with 10 GMAC members successfully obtaining their bronze heli wings, and we all had a lot of fun as well!

The successful candidates were:

 

Aaron Powter Graeme Anderson

 

Allan Lewis Michael Rowland

 

Chris Anderson Paul McNicholl

 

Dale Carpenter Russell Edwards

 

Gary Butcher Thushara Perera

In addition, we were all treated to a spectacular demonstration by Matt of competition and 3D flying, as well as a wealth of handy information and tips by the visiting instructors.

From all at GMAC: A huge thank you to Jeff & Matt for their time, skill and patience as well as their commitment to improving aero-modeling.

As a follow-on, Jeff & Matt have kindly offered to hold a heli competition and funfly at GMAC on Saturday May 7th. commencing at 9am
