indoor clubs and book advice

[bigoggy]

can anyone tell me if there is an indoor club in the nottingham/chesterfield area? i have a 3 channel medivac that i would like to fly indoor during winter. i am also working on a century swift that i got second hand. is there any good books that teach the basics of heli's as some things seem realy complicated. i've raced and bashed rc cars for 25 years but this is a whole new world

This site should help with the swift

Ash has not doen much with the swift- last entry he made at swift tuning was back in june 2007. The trex600 and trex500 have overshadowed this heli recently.
I've never seen a century heli - but they are not the most popular make on this forum.

For the flying of the Swift join a club

otherwise you'll spend a fortune on spares due to crashing and also it helps you see how to fly one safely.

BMFA Club list is here:

you might find an indoor club as well

found a club that i'm gona join in the new year to fly the swift. but they don't fly during winter hence the need for an indoor club

There is a club at Hucknall, I have only been there once, it is a little too far away for me. They fly in a school sports hall and there is a small area outside for flying on calm summer evenings - not really relevant for this time of year! I'll see if I can remember where it is

I think it is the Hucknall National Junior School on Wed evenings. Looks like there are other venues too. Try the Hucknall Model Aircraft Club Website for more info.
