Clubs in Kent

[FingersandThumbs]

Hi,
I'm looking for Heli clubs in Kent? Interested in the new one in Sidcup...

Hi

Are you looking for indoor or outdoor? From experience, I found most of the clubs in Kent are reluctant to accept heli pilots regardless of skill. For indoor flying, there are a few sites around. One of the biggest is in Swanley, but as far as I know, they are not yet running. Check with Ali Newman at Avicraft. Further down the M2, is a group that fly at the Lordswood Leisure centre in Chatham, but they have stopped until the new year.

For i.c. Eynsford would be your best bet if you are looking for somewhere near London. There is a club near Dartford, but not sure on the status regarding heli's. Check with the guys at TJD models. Then there is Barton's Point club in Sheerness. They are a mixed club and have about 14 heli pilots. In fact, most weekends are dominated by heli's. There is also a club the other side of Ashford that offer mixed flying, but I don't know too much about them.

Cheers for that. I've applied to EHMC (Eynsford club) but there full. I'll keep an ear out for the swanley one. I've only got a Century Hawk so outdoor only at the mo!
