The weekend of the 4th and 5th of November saw the Kwazulu Natal Large Scale Aerobatics Championships held in Howick at the Beautiful Howick Model Fliers Club.
Good weather insured an awesome weekend for the Pilots and Organiser's. Aircraft ranging from 30cc to 150cc were put through their paces over the weekend ,from Advance to Freestyle Aerobatics sequences were flown with excellence and were fantastic to watch and be a part of.
CMC Hobbies and LSA South Africa along with generous private individual made the competition possible with sizable sponsorship. Special thanks to Clive and his team for yet another fantastic event at Howick Model Fliers Club.
Large Scale Aerobatics is flown to very much the same rules as the full scale competitions, classes competed for are also very similar and include Basic, Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimited.

Ryan Mason walked away with the trophy for the Basic Competition and Brad Rea was voted the most improved pilot for the 2017 season.
