Welcome to The Grand Southern Cross Model Aero Rally

The largest rally in the southern hemisphere.

THE GRAND SOUTHERN CROSS MODEL AERO RALLY WAS AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS IN 2010. WE ARE MORE THAN ENCOURAGED TO RUN IT EVERY TWO YEARS, THE NEXT BEING IN 2012.

NEXT YEAR - 2011 - THE BOWYLIE EVENT WILL BE RUN AGAIN AT DICK SMITHS' PROPERTY AT GUNDAROO NEAR CANABERRA ( LOG ONTO www.flyingscale.com.au FOR MORE INFORMATION AND ENTRY DETAILS ).

THE GRAND SOUTHERN CROSS MODEL AERO RALLY WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY 21st AND SUNDAY 22nd APRIL 2012 (TWO WEEKS AFTER EASTER ) AGAIN AT THE LUSKINTYRE AIRFIELD. (FIFTEEN MINUTES WEST OF MAITLAND).

THE FORMAT WILL CHANGE SLIGHTLY. IN 2012 IT WILL BE STRICTLY A Large Model Scale Rally FOR GLOW, PETROL AND ELECTRIC POWERED AIRCRAFT AND JETS. HELECOPTERS WILL BE FLOWN IN A SEPARATE PART OF THE AIRFIELD AS WILL BE PYLON RACING. FOOD AND DRINK WILL BE AVAILABLE BOTH DAYS FROM 7.00AM AND WE WILL HAVE THE MEET AND GREET MARQUEE FOR COMPETITORS AND VISITORS AND THE RETAIL MARQUEES AGAIN. WE WILL AGAIN HAVE A DISPLAY FLY OVER OF WW2 AIRCRAFT AND THE PITTS SPECIAL AS WELL AS THE 3D DISPLAY BY THE AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION.

THE EVENT IN 2010 RAISED $15,000 FOR THE SURGICAL CORRECTION OF THE LEGS OF TWO FIJIAN CHILDREN, AND THE NET PROCEEDS OF THE 2012 EVENT WILL BE USED IN A SIMILAR MANNER. IT MUST BE NOTED THAT THE OWNERS OF THE LUSKINTYRE AIRFIELD PROVIDED THE AIRFIELD FREE OF CHARGE FOR THIS FUND RAISING EVENT.
