The Modeling Club Apollo in Horst (near Venlo, the Netherlands) has confirmed that they will host the Inter-Ex in 2024. The Inter-Ex 2024 will take place during the weekend of September 7th and 8th. As usual, it will be possible to arrive on Friday September 6th to enjoy the informal Friday evening.
Inter-Ex is the world of those devoted to experimental modelling. Starting in the eighties in Germany, Belgium and Holland a steady group of "experimental modellers" got together because of their mutual interest:
To realise "off the beaten track" ideas by creating own structures and bring it to fly. The idea must not necessarily come from us, there are more modellers in the world than truly original ideas. The structure is the builders choice, often based on proven methods. Than we build the experiment by ourselves. And the the great moment comes: Does it fly or not. sometimes it does, sometimes not - but this is the experimental idea we love so. In the mean time Inter-Ex is well known in great parts of Europe.
