Who are we?
We are a group of around 100 club members who fly radio control gliders
in the Stroud valleys (in the South West of England). Our club is affiliated
to the BMFA (British Model
Flying Association) so that we can take advantage of their £5 Million
3rd party insurance scheme.
What do we fly?
We fly all types of r/c gliders, anything from the basic balsa models, EPP
flying wings, 1/4 scale and the fully moulded "Calypso" type models.
Where do we fly?
Please see the flying sites link for details
When do we fly?
Any time it's not raining! Most of the flying is done at the weekends, with
Sunday morning being most popular.
The club also has a monthly meeting on every 3rd Wednesday in the month, in
"The Bear" of Rodborough, 8pm in winter, 9pm in summer.(NO flying
permitted in the bar!)
Why do we fly?
If you've ever flown a radio control plane you'll already know the answer!
For those of you that haven't...give it a go, then you'll know as well!
