In May our chairman Ian and club member Pete were invited by a local junior school in Bridlington to give a talk on WW2 aircraft to help with the kids understanding of that period of history. The visit went very well and afterwards we were very happy to receive this letter from the children :- Letter from Bay Primary School

The runway now includes a circular area for control line flying. See gallery for video.

This Saturday saw our first spot landing competition in which members competed to land as close as possible to a target. The worthy winner was Duncan who landed only 1.4m from the centre. See gallery for pictures.

A bit of variety on the field for the first day of June.See gallery for pictures.

Some of our model flying is "FPV" (First Person View) where the model is flown through an onboard camera.One FPV plane at the club is a Tundra fitted with an EagleTree Vector flight controller and a Mobius camera on a pan & tilt mount.Plane weighs in at 1.8kg – as compared to a more normal weight for a Tundra of around 1.2kg – so a bit more throttle and care in cornering is necessary compared to an average “floaty” Tundra.Battery is a 3S 2700mAh giving a safe 8 mins of flight (plus a number of minutes to spare).See gallery for pictures. 

New member Andy W has practiced his flying helped by Steve B with a second radio. See gallery for pictures.
