MODEL AERO CLUB.

The Kestrel Model Aero Club held its usual meeting at the Domain over the week-end. Although weather conditions were rather unstable, an astounding performance was made, most flights averaging over a minute. The scale model record ■was broken by a model with a 36in wing span that flew for 50s. The flight was made by S. Edwards. The fuselage models flew excellently, three being lost. The most outstanding flights were made by W. Hopkins, G. Bourke and A. Weaver. These were all clocked out of sight after completing from two to four minutes. The winner for this week's gold propeller was G. Bourke, who scored the highest points for the day. Results: —• Open, Duration, H.L.—W. Robinson, 1 (limit). 190s; W.
