CMAC SCALE AEROBATICS NEWSLETTER - NOW AVAILABLE
CMAC Members,
Given the current and growing interest that various Club members are showing in Scale Aerobatic models, your Webmaster and the Club Secretary have decided to pool their resources in order to add a new element to the CMAC Website. Commencing immediately, you will find that the Clubs website carries the CMAC Scale Aerobatic Newsletter.
This Newsletter is not intended so much to provide "news" of current events in Australian Scale Aerobatics, although from time to time it obviously will include commentary on such events. The Newsletters role is to act as a source of material (information, advice, commentary, etc) which is of interest and assistance to modellers who build, fly, or would just like to own, a Scale Aerobatic model.
In seeking to get the Newsletter "off the ground", our Club has been fortunate to gain the support of Mr Shayne Lysaght, a professional Pilot who blends his career as a 747 Captain with flying advanced model aircraft at the highest level in Australian IMAC competitions. As modellers, we are indeed fortunate that Shaynes passion for "flying machines" includes the desire to assist others who wish to extend and expand their own knowledge of these wonderful beasts. He has compiled a number of articles on diverse topics all related to the building and flying of model aircraft, and he has agreed to allow us to publish a series of them in the CMAC Scale Aerobatic Newsletter.
In addition to a brief note to introduce Shayne Lysaght, the first edition of the Newsletter includes one article written by Shayne about Ducted Cooling for Model Aeroplane Engines and another article about an IMAC model being flown by one of CMACs own members.

What's New?
Field Redevelopment
The CMAC Field Redevelopment project is finally underway.
After the Club’s Building Application was cleared on Monday 6 April, the concrete slab was poured on Tuesday 7 April.
The final components for the new shed were delivered two days later, and a small team lead by Lawrie Paul began the construction task on Easter Saturday. Good progress was made on both the Saturday and the Sunday; the building's frame is up and wall sheeting has commenced.
Construction of the new shed is now expected to be completed over the next two or three weeks, and then the old shed must be dismantled and removed, and its site restored to natural ground level. Installation of a complete set of safety fencing will commence shortly after the shed construction is complete. Once the new fencing is in place, the new pit-layout, the new car parking and public areas, and the new way of operating at CMAC Field will be defined.
Flying Days
Saturday and Sundays mornings see most aircraft,
Wednesday and Friday mornings for the midweek flyers.
