brian, should maybe pitch a little reminder up that the 3d days have no schedule or anything. just a funfly based on 3D or anyone who wants to try. we use the term 3d very loosely so anyone can join in.

for those interested there maybe a basic schedule made for a few people at one of the events where we have use of a dual flightline (aberdeen and falkirk) as we know not everone will want to attempt a schedule should one be made.

also for the planned 3 (possibly 4 dates) Scottish 3d days i'd like to thank Spartan RC and Aurorra LTD for their continued support. hopefully more will follow on in due course.

cheers

im not in any club, do i have to do anything prior ? insurances etc ?

[raptorheli2]

you can come along but you will need insurance to fly at any club i'm afraid. you should consider joining a club as it will enhance your flying/enjoyment far far more than you could imagine.

your more than welcome to go though and see lay of land.

cheers

Good point, I will clarify my entry on the Calendar above under 3D..my bad..as they say.

This is my shortened version for the 3D Get Together days so it fits across the page in MS Word.

Anyone even remotely interested in 3D flying is acceptably qualified. If youv'e read this far. This Means You!

The emphasis is getting people involved and actually flying with likewise minded people in a friendly group where we share a common interest.

Spartan RC and Aurorra Ltd are confirmed as supporting us in 2009.

Any sponsers interested in coming onboard no matter how small is greatly appreciated for further details myself or Paul (raptorheli2) can be contacted via PM.

Excellent news Chem..looking forward to meeting up with everone again..Its been a LOOONNGG winter

[Dashik]

I look forward to meeting a few people from here at the Kinross flyin, its my Club

[barney]

Maderdog. It really does make sense to visit a good club as there are so many pitfalls in the hobby. Waterfoot are a great bunch of guys and I'm sure if you book a visit..you might just get on the bacon buttie list.

To fly at any club it is a requirement to have Insurance and TBH it is highly recommended for peace of mind if nothing else no matter where you fly.

[barney]

Hi Dashik I couldn't make your fly-in last year as it was a Saturday from memory..look forward to meeting you and the lads

Brian

[raptorheli2]

dashik, i hope you can manage along to one of the other main heli days elsewhere. i'll goto kinross if i can.

cheers

[maderdog_1024]

im closer to Falkirk/Edinburgh area than Glasgow but its always good to meet new people. I will sort out BMFA insurance and hopefully meet up sometime soon.
