Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th March 2026
The Action Scale Rally will be for scale models of full sized aircraft. Prizes to be awarded are:
-
Pilot’s Choice Awards.
-
Best military scale model.
-
Best civilian scale model.
-
The Barry James Memorial Trophy judged and presented by BADMAC members will be awarded for the most realistic flight. Flight realism will be judged on providing a close copy of what the full sized aircraft would look like in the air, including airspeed, copying the manoeuvres of the full size in a realistic manner and to a lesser extent the sound of the aircraft. Particular emphasis will be paid to the takeoff and landing.
A raffle will be held over the weekend.
