We are hosting a visit from the 2nd Cottenham Cubs on one of our regular Friday meetings. There will be up to 25 cubs and 3 helpers
The visit is to assist with the cubs attainment of their Model Aeroplane badges.
The cubs will be split into 3 groups of up to 8 plus a leader in each group. We would then rotate them through the 3 main areas spending half an hour at each.
1. Free flight rubber powered planes – We will have 3 Tradfly planes they can wind up and launch plus they will see some rubber powered scale models in action. Stuart Marsden
2. Control line planes – They will watch some control line planes doing aerobatics. John Copsey
3. Radio control – There will be demonstrations of different types plus some parachute dropping where the cubs can help by collecting the parachutes. We will also let them have a go with the club trainer Easy Star on a buddy box. Alan Paul and Paul Burling
We will also give each Cub a small BMFA model like the Aerojet to build after the event under the supervision of Cub leaders.
