RSSNordicCon 2013
This year's theme was
NEED FOR SPEED
Here are the results of another successful NordicCon. Thanks to all who entered models and a special congrats to all the medal winners! We had over 300 entries with the aircraft making up over a third of the models. I hope everyone liked the Base Camp facility. We would like to keep the show there, in the foreseeable future.
Once again, thanks to all who helped (you know who you are). The show would not go on without your participation.
