CADMAC Members together SEBMFA committee have hosted this event for many years. This year saw a return to The Triangle Burgess Hill which has easy access to the A23, great free parking facilities and a large Hall to fly in. The half of the hall we hired measured 25m x 22m and had a 9m ceiling height to the bottom of the beams and 11.5m to the apex of the ceiling (Which means it is a good space to fly in.)
This year we had around 70 fliers and spectators turned up to the event with their creations.
The event consisted of some ‘fun-fly’ time for people to set up their models and some ‘competition’ time in the various classes as follows –
HLG and catapult models,
EZB / Living Room Stick / Gyminnie Cricket,
Peanut and Open Scale / Legal Eagle,
Hangar Rat and Butterfly mass launches.
This year the conditions were excellent for flying as the air handling system stayed off. A great time was had by all and it was really good to see some of our Juniors having a go.
At the end of the day the SE Area Chair, Stuart Willis presented Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates to the respective class winners with the Gold winners also receiving an engraved glass.
There were also trophies awarded for the Legal Eagle winner – Terry Adams, and the overall ‘Champion’ of the day – David Goodwin.
The ‘Class’ winners were as follows –
Open Scale Alisdair Clark
Peanut Scale Stephen Haines
Legal Eagle Terry Adams
Gyminnie Cricket David Goodwin
EZB Robert Horton
Living Room Stick David Goodwin
Hand Launch Glider Tom Goodwin
Catapult Launch Glider Terry Adams

The event was deemed a great success by all of the attendees and the SE Area managed to cover the costs for the occasion with the attendance fees plus selling a number of models which were kindly donated by Alex Cameron.
Next year’s event is already booked for 22nd February 2026.
