clubs in Leicester

[helipilot]

Hello all....
As a beginner im about sorted on which heli to go for and i intend to purchase in the next week or so..( thanks to all that gave me their advise.! ) Another bit of advice that came back several times was to join a club and go alang for a chat before spending my life savings . Is there any clubs or local meets in Leicester and can i get me an invite...?
I wont be too much trouble... promise.

Thanks, Helipilot.

Heya Mate,

Where abouts in Leicester do you live? (I live in Blaby)

There's a good bunch of heli flyers that fly at Peatling Magna (The Leicester Heli Flyers) I intend to join in the next few weeks!..

Also PM Sent.

There's also Leicester Model Aero Club in Gumley. It's a mixed club but it is the only club I have been a member of where planks and helis actually mix without friction.

Club facilities are spot on (club hut, kitchen, bogs etc.) so flying in the winter isnt a problem. The club owns it own field and has just spent a lot of time and effort in making the flying patch bigger and better. There are regular heli flyers at the field, mainly on a saturday morning.

You can find a contact here Contacts for the helis if you are interested in joining.

Link to Google maps for location. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...05611&t=h&z=18 This is quite an old photo as the bare area on the ground is now level and grassed over
