We are pleased to announce at the kind invitation of The Arthur Butler Aviation Museum, ASRA has been invited to hold the 2026 ASRA Nationals at the Tooraweenah Aerodrome, and at various venues in the Tooraweenah village. The Tooraweenah Aerodrome is an excellent airfield for the Nationals and is reasonably isolated in its location, has little competing air traffic and can cater for all types of gyrocopters.
The 2026 ASRA Nationals will commence on Friday afternoon (17 April), with a meet and greet and a welcoming BBQ dinner at the local town hall that evening. The Nationals will conclude with a farewell dinner on Sunday evening (19 April) at the village pub, both food events are sponsored by ASRA.
The event program covers:
- Presentation on Arthur Butler & Butler Air Transport and its historic connection with Tooraweenah.
- Presentation/workshop on Rotax aircraft engines including maintenance tips.
- Presentation on Flight of the Phoenix – the story behind the building of G2637
- Presentation on a Gyroplane Adventure in 2025 to parts of Outback NSW & SA.
- Presentation on Gyroplane Expeditions – tips and tricks.
- Presentation on lessons learned from the comprehensive ASRA accident database, plus a CASR Part 103 update.
Due to insurance and safety considerations, competitive flying events will not be held. Instead, the 2026 ASRA Nationals will focus on technical presentations, workshops, and celebrating the camaraderie of the gyroplane community. Pilots may, at their discretion, undertake private flights over the weekend in accordance with normal operating requirements.
