Hi guys,
Its been a while since i posted here, but i have an up date. We are moving to Marbella on Thursday. So any of you local flyers fancy showing me the site? I will be ready to fly again by next week, once i have rebuilt my Warp 360.
Give us a shout.
Cheers Lee

Wow missed this, not been doing much in the heli scene, in fact the last of the stuff is for sale if anyone local interested them PM me. All I have left is masses of Trex 600N/NSP stuff and Spectra G Gasser, both no motor or electronics....

I had not seen this thread before. For some time now I have been wanting to find a good place to escape the UK winters but as I live in London now and don't have a car, many parts of Spain would not be practical, which is also the case with many USA cities.

I thought you were moving to Mexico Lee? (or am I thinking of someone else)

Hey guys,
Just to let anyone know who's in the area, I'm back in Tarifa.
If anyone is around, give me a shout and we'll go flying.
Last week was awesome. Got 50 flights in. Just finishing my Goblin 570 build.

Saludos Lee

Hi Kevin,
I fly turbines in the UK. I was in Marbella this August and spotted your post about the Estepona club. Have they now lost their tarmac runway? I went to the location marked on their website and its an unmade area by a quarry . Im guessing the tarmac site you mentioned above was lost to the landslide? What a shame if it was. I also went down to the Malaga club to check it out and they look to have a decent runway. Are there any other tarmac strips closer to Marbella that you know of?
Many thanks
Dave

For anyone living in the Alicante area there is a flying club at Elche, Club de Aeromodelismo Elche. this has a green carpeted runway for planks and plenty of open country to fly Helis.
It is virtually opposite Marjal Camping at Crevellante, intend to use it when I am there December for 2 months.
Club secretery is Spanish flying champion Martin Pickering originally from England.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know about heli flying in the Almeria vicinity? It is one of the sunny / driest parts of the country and looks fairly warm in the winter.

Hi Trillion, there was a flying club who used to fly near Villaricos on a Sunday morning .
If you go down to Cabo de Gata which is in the national park there is plenty of places to fly.About 20 minutes from Almeria city.

I had a forum friend drive down from the UK for Christmas, to Tarifa. We flew everyday on the 11km long beach. He absolutely loved it, and is planning to bring a bunch of guys down here next year with him. We will be attending the Bull Smackdown event.

What happened to your post Trillian? Its gone.

Hi Lee,

I moved my post to a new post just under the main category 'Spain' as it was not about Estepona in particular it was a general Spain topic.

Here on Gran Canaria there are places like this all over:

And I can't help but think there needs to be a helicopter being flown!

Heres our spot in the mountains mainly for the Gliders.


And the beach.
