Kedves antikosok! Ezúton teszem közzé a már évek óta folyó
TOMBOY RALLY kiírását.
We wish to present this competition to all the lovers of this nice
model with the only aim of having fun in a postal contest which is
organized to provide some fun flying together or at the same
time as are all postal contests. The Tomboy Rally wants to prove
the performance of this model alongwith the ability of the
builder and pilot, without reaching the peak agonism of usual
contests and only wishing to fly the model having fun in a relaxed
manner. After having carried out some tests we have decided to
admit the use of i.c. engines and electric motors trying to reduce
the gap between them.
