This is our special Friday evening session where Free Flight, Control Line and Radio flying all co-exist on the same field where we have been flying since 1946.  The field is booked from 6pm but most people arrive around 7pm unless the weather is perfect.

Priority is given to free flight and control line, with slow quiet RC models allowed.  

The usual field layout is shown below.  See the full outdoor flying guidance on the Club Documents page on our website or click here.

FPV Pilots – use the pegboard to reserve your video frequency – see copy of pegboard here

We have noticed a recent tendency for boys to be on the field playing football, despite the club having booked the whole field.  No RC or CL activity is to take place if there are boys playing football near our activities. They must be spoken to and given the option of either clearing off as we have booked the field, or going up to the far North West end of the field behind the caretakers house where they will be well out of our way.  We don’t want to have a massive set to with them, so the option of letting them continue at the far end seems a sensible compromise.

If you are not sure about suitable RC models, please ask.  This is a tricky field for RC with tall magnetic trees all round the field that cause turbulence even in relatively light winds!!  For a video of the field click here
