RC Planes at the SWMAC on 29 August 2011
The last Sunday of the Southern Hemisphere winter in 2011 was not a bad one and the guys from the SWMAC were out in force, flying their RC planes here in Tokoroa, New Zealand. Watch for all the usual suspects and the usual amount of mayhem.

RC plane flying at the SWMAC on Saturday 27 Aug 2011

Barry accidentally drains the tank of his nitro plane into his bottle of orange juice, Jeff flies his H9 Spitfire and a new electric Swizzle-Stick-ish thing, Brent thrashes the 500W AXN and hi...

The SWMAC go on a road-trip with their RC planes (Part 1)
Some of the SWMAC decided to visit a nearby club in Taupo which was holding an annual RC plane fly-in event. This is part one of the story and documents the trip from our home-field of Tokoroa to the fly-in venue at Taupo. Sorry about the crappy audio -- Barry's car is so noisy that I had to work...
The SWMAC go on a road-trip with their RC planes (part 2)
We finally made it to the 436 RC plane fun-fly in Taupo after a bit of a road-trip and here's what we found. Lots and lots of RC planes but most of them were pretty "old school" with glow (nitro) motors and long-wire radios. Only a handfull of electric models and the fastest planes there were our...

Winter (finally) comes to the SWMAC
One minute it's warm and sunny, then it gets cold and windy. Yes, after months of warm, fine weather, the winter has finally arrived here at the SWMAC and so, this video is (again) more about people than RC planes. Ron has a new hat, the boys discuss the art of pylon racing, and Wayne has a new H...

Parkfliers.org.nz members visit the SWMAC with their RC planes
A bunch of electric fliers dropped in to the SWMAC in Tokoroa this weekend. Here are some clips from the day's flying. I'll profile a few of the models (like that electric Bullit and the Coroplast Cub in future videos but here are the guys (and *GIRL*) and snippets of the flying they did.
Another day at the SWMAC (with an invite to all RC plane fliers)
The first Sunday of spring for 2011 in the Southern Hemisphere and most of the crew were at the field on a balmy day. Not much flying in this vid (but some more close-ups of Wayne's flash new Kasama helicopter) -- just some banter between the usual offenders and some footage to make you feel like...

RC plane versus large raptor at the SWMAC
Just another day's idiocy with RC planes at the SWMAC. The weather is still nothing like summer ought to be but that doesn't stop us having a little fun with our RC planes. What a shame we couldn't find the hangar-cat today.

Rc plane toilet roll drop SWMAC
Here at The SWMAC were always looking for something fun to do and Xjet dropping a toilet roll off his at40 and trying to chop it up was just the thing
An invitation from the SWMAC
Is the cold of winter starting to affect you RC fliers up there in the Northern Hemisphere? Would you like to escape the snow, ice and chilly winds? Why not come down to the SWMAC in warm, sunny New Zealand and fly with us for a few days? If there's interest, we'll make sure we have a few spare R...
Another Saturday's RC plane flying at the SWMAC
Gosh, who'd have thought - another perfect day in paradise, with RC planes (and even a few full-sized ones) everywhere. Not a big turnout today, even though the weather was stunning, that's because most people prefer to fly on a Sunday. Don't forget that you can become a virtual-member of the SWM...

AXN Spot landing (crashing) contest at the SWMAC
We decided to hold an impromptu spot-landing contest and you can guess what happened. RC planes were crashing all over the place, as the usual offenders did their best to try and nail the spot. It's a very good thing the AXN Clouds Fly Floater is one tough model. Another video from the SWMAC in T...

Weekend RC plane flying at the SWMAC (12/13 Nov 2011)
For our virtual members -- some more RC flying action from the field. Ron has crashed his GeeBee and, because he did so without advising a camera-man at least 5 minutes before-hand, risks expulsion from the club :-) Just some of the guys and their model airplanes on a warm November weekend at the...
RC plane limbo crashes at the SWMAC
At the SWMAC, limbo = crash Watch as we all have fun trying to fly under the limbo tape. Most got under okay but I thought you'd like to see the worst attempts. Funny how the leading edge of our wings are no longer straight. And get a preview of the flying fundoll tandem parachute drop. Full cove...
