The club is part of the national body for model flying. The B.M.F.A and so is covered by there insurance scheme. As a club, we fly mainly outside at our local club field when the weather is good. The helicopters that we fly on a Wednesday night are powered by small electric motors and batteries, which will fly for about 10 minutes. The average costs of the helicopters we fly on Wednesday nights are about £400. Most of the members have much larger helicopters that can have rotor spans of more than 4 feet, and are powered by small petrol engines. They can even be flown upside down. The club is keen to bring in new members. We also help teach new pilots as flying a model helicopter is quite difficult and so takes many months of practice to be competent. Next year we are planning to do some local demonstrations at summer fetes and schools, if you want to have a look and have a chat come upstairs on a Wednesday night   Mark Ainsley (chairman)   07834 129690 Graham Fox  (club safety officer) 07890 292370 By Graham Fox Back to Sports		Latest News TEMP PHONE NUMBER & MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL 2010 Temporary Closure of the Premises
