Back in Business!  We have had huge issues upgrading the website lately! Did you notice? You weren't the only one it was making crazy believe me! But now thanks to the generous efforts of NZMAA member Rob Moody we have a new web host and will hopefully have no further problems. Some of the last things to be sorted are those items on the site that run from databases and this includes the calendar and the NDC results. These things currently have to be done very manually and that takes time. Please bear with me while I work to get this done in my free time (Mother of three, free time Hmmmm??). In the meantime please let me know if you find any problems that we have missed! Thanks to those who have already emailed we are working on fixes now.

 

 

New Model? Do you have a new Model plane, glider or helicopter.? Are you new to the sport or keen to find out what's involved? Please take your time to have a look through our website and learn about Model flying in New Zealand! For more personal and specific help please contact your local club their details can be found here. If there's something else you need to know or something you think should be on this website then try contacting me, the webmaster or any member of the NZMAA Council details here.
