Join the Australian Electric Flight Association The AEFA has regular meetings in Melbourne, runs 7-cell glider and old timer postal competitions, produces a monthly newsletter, maintains a web site, and runs the annual National Electric Flight Rally and the Swan Hill National Electric Fly-in. It costs either $20 a year (for e-mail newsletters) or $30 a year (for a mail out copy) to belong, and is more than worth it to receive the newsletter alone.

The monthly newsletter includes news of what is happening in electric flight circles in Australia, features articles about electric flight equipment and electric flying, includes news about electric flight events, and features advertisements by suppliers. Send me an E-mail and I will forward you a sample newsletter for your perusal. To subscibe, simply send $20 or $30 to David Collett, 34 Valley Brook Road, Caversham WA 6055.
