Our 15 member club held it's first scale event last year. It was open to all scale aircraft, ARF to museum scale. We had a BBQ after the flying was over.

Local clubs were notified, and we had a thread about the event, going on a scale building website.

There were 25 pilots registered and over 50 scale models at our event. Some pilots traveled over 500 mile to attend.

We kept it simple. It wasn't a contest. Everyone seemed to enjoy the fly for fun format.

This year's date was announced last week. We have already recieved inquiries from pilots living in Canada and abroad.


My advice is to keep your format simple. Don't over extend your club's abilities. Let the event grow at it's own pace. If the attendees have an enjoyable experience, they will return, and bring others with them.
