Woodspring E-Fly 2008

THE ALL ELECTRIC DAY

This event is a more relaxed day at Woodspring where you can mingle and catch up with the latest developments in electric powered aircraft. WWoodspring E-Fly 2008e would describe it as as much a fly-in with interested visitors rather than a show. In 2006 we had approximately 500 visitors. It it always attracts many well known names in the electric world as well as local enthusiasts, and is supported by a handful of traders who mainly specialise in electric models and products. A full programme is planned with continuous model flying throughout the day, from 10.00am - 5.00pm.

No Individual Entrance Fee - Just on site car parking £5.00 per car.
