Our Club

We are a radio control flying club with over 25 years of history, we have a varied range of pilots from young pilots at 8 years of age.

We are a British Model Flying Association (BMFA) affiliated club NO436, with all members holding BMFA membership and BMFA insurance.

All of our flyers are friendly and eager to explain the concepts of radio-controlled models of all kinds, We have an active Facebook group so our Friendship doesn't only reside on the field.

Why not check out our three stages of flying at our club below? If you are happy with what you see, please visit our membership page for our annual registration fees.

Stage 1 - Training

We offer training using our club equipment, so if you need to know if model aircraft flying is for you.

Why not ask for a trial flight?

Stage 2 - Competency Test

Our club offers an in-house competency test to get you flying solo. We can also help you pass your BMFA A test if required.

Stage 3 - Solo

Once you have completed your competency test or passed the BMFA A test, you can then take to the skies and have fun.
