One by one they turned up at LMAC on Sunday 29th December and the common statement when getting out of the car was 'It was flat calm when I left my house'! Don't let the gorgeous blue sky deceive you, the wind on Sunday would cut you in two. That said, it didn't stop people flying and LMAC Vice Chairman Howard Murphy captured a great set of pictures of Heli's, multi-rotors, EDFs and aerobatic planes all braving the elements. Those long warm August evenings seem a million miles away now! Enjoy

Some stunning views from above LMAC



Some stunning views from above and around LMAC. Saddington, Foxton, Gumley, Gartree Prison and Bruntingthorpe in the distance are all in view.

Matt Chamberlain tests and trims his new SkyWalker FPV plane LOS before landing it whilst flying FPV as shown in the above video.  Having the GoPro camera right on the nose, means you can get more ground as opposed to sky in the video if you angle the camera slightly downwards. I'm sure we will be seeing more from this plane in 2014.

Enjoy.

A bit of a foggy start, but a few LMAC members braved the chilly wind to try out some new models. Dan Simmond's little Parkzone SE5a looked great against the blue sky once the fog cleared. The pork pie and Christmas left overs was enjoyed by all too :)

Happy Christmas from the Leicester Model Aero Club!

Happy Christmas from the Leicester Model Aero Club. Have a wonderful day and we wish you many safe landings in 2014!  Boxing Day is looking like the winds may let up, so we hope to see a few flyers for some Boxing Day fun.  Don't forget any left over Christmas Day food too for the lunchtime snack!
