Girls Are High Flyers
The girls are flocking to fly radio controlled planes and helicopters
and the Bundaberg Aeromodellers now proudly boast seven
female flyers amongst its members. This is by far the largest
gaggle of girls in the hobby of any club in Australia. Traditionally
thought of as a male orientated pursuit, the advancement in
electric motors and batteries and the availability of ready-to-fly
aircraft make the simpler, quieter, cleaner option more attractive
to women.
The Bundaberg Aeromodellers club has recently put together a
new trainer plane, funded by a grant from the Model Aeronautical
Association of Qld (MAAQ). This plane will be used as a “come
and try plane” for people to have a go on with the aid of a dual
control “buddy system”. An experienced pilot takes one
transmitter and the learner takes the “buddy” making a safe and
fun way to try out and see if you want to learn to fly.
Another popular option for beginners is Indoor Flying which is
held once a month in the Civic Centre. Small indoor planes and
helicopters are a popular choice as a starter with the girls as well.
