Electric planes are never too safe

It is important to keep your planes as safe as possible, especially electric planes. Once the battery is connected, just a slight movement on the throttle when you are unprepared can lead to disaster.

One of our members has designed a circuit that enables you to arm the electric motor of your plane seperately to the rest of your servos and receiver. Check out the circuit design now.

No more Joining Fees

At the AGM it was agreed that there will no longer be a joining fee. Great news for anybody wishing to join the club. The annual subscription still applies.

AGM Postponed

Appologies, the AGM will be postponed to the next meeting on 3 February 2010 due to problems with the weather.

Whilst we are aware that the Constitution identifies that the AGM will be held in January, we feel there are exceptional circumstances, and would rather not risk making decisions supported only by a low turnout.
