Dear Fellow Aero Modelers/flyers:
We humbly invite your club and all flyers to the 22nd PNATS to be held on April 11-13 at the former Bacolod PAL airport. We will use the baggage claim area as our hangar, a real parking lot for your cars, and the control tower/fire department as props. Short of saying, flying doesn’t get better than this.
The event will have both heli and plane patterns, Fun Flies, combat, and scale events. A new category, Senior’s pattern, has been created for those hobbyists who get younger by the years---55 above. To ease your logistic problems, we can pick up your planes from any pier, airport, or courier in Bacolod. You may also leave your planes at the well secured and guarded “hangar” for your convenience. No need to bring them back and forth to the hotel.
There will be the usual cool raffles prizes from major sponsors—Lil’s Hobby Shop courtesy of Hirobo and Futaba. This will be FAI sanctioned event with certain rules waived (sound level and max weight). Registration will be P1,500.00 inclusive of the awarding dinner. Food and snacks will be available at the ‘airport’. Bring all what you have to trade of sell. Like they say one’s junk is another’s treasure.
Come and enjoy our Negrense food, night life, and of course chance to fly in a real airport.
