General

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.

The club put together a display stand at Bridlington Morrisons this Saturday 12th May 2018 to promote the club. Thank you to Morrisons for allowing us to do this and thank you to BMFA for providing support material.See gallery for pictures.

Good news for small wheels. The club now has its very own mower. See gallery for pictures.(mower will not be stored at field)

Steve B. and his Seagull Spitfire were at the field this Wednesday. Pictures and videos can be found in the gallery.

Good session at the field this Bank holiday Monday. See gallery for new pictures and videos.
