Rotorua Model Aircraft Club member Brian Holden says they encourage people to come along because a lot of people don't realise the fun that can be had with either flying or watching others fly model aircraft.
"It gives people an opportunity to experience this and gives our club and members a boost. It gives us an opportunity to share our hobby with other people."
He says in previous years the airshow has proved popular with the public, which he thinks is because it is something a little different.
"It's quite exciting. It's a day where the whole family can come out and everyone will get something out of it."
Brian says quite a few of the club members, including himself, are retired pilots wanting to continue with flying, but to do it from the ground rather than the air.
No dogs are allowed at the airshow and if there is rain or high winds check the club's Facebook page for updates. The airshow's alternative date is Sunday, March 22.
