Any questions for the bmfa

I got one edders.
When will we be able to buy memberships online without having to phone up giving card details.
Do they have any ambitions to bring there memberships renewals etc into the twenty first century.

+1 this would be most helpful.


Cheers,

Get my vote too. My membership is still awaiting renewal because I either forget/can't be arsed/too busy/some other reason to sort it out by hand. Online, I'd have done it immediately - and I'd happily sign up to a annual rolling membership too.

Question for your meeting.....

Are the BMFA going to offer some guidelines for examiners about what is / is not exceptable for a flybarless system being used for certs.........? And how a pilot should "prove its not a autopilot"

Thanx Edders
Ken

Sorry I missed asking this one

will there be any restrictions in model flying in the coventry area for models over 7 kg during the olympics
similar to the ones in london?
as coventry is hosting some of the games

He only mentioned that London was affected and that there's a map on the BMFA's website

[Edders]

how about, when are they gonna put more helis in there magazine!

I raised this and got told that you write they'll publish it (within reason ;-) )

so its a case of get writing those articles and send them in

[Edders]

Seeing as most new models are now FBL only, specially the latest electric models will there comps like F3C allow FBL entries along side the FB helis....

this doesn't fall under the BMFA its a F3C / FIA thing have a chat with the AHA guy's I know there doing their best to work on this

[Edders]

not a biggie, but the website classified pages can sometimes be painfully slow when trying to view items for sale etc. Any plans for the future?

this should fall under the redevelopment of the site

was a very informative session, I learnt alot and got reminded of alot (things in the BMFA handbook) like not setting Throttle safe if available is an offense

what the insurance's provide

A / B certificates (in a display / competition environment)

the types of claims and stories around in club fighting

when will they bring a bmfa news magazine out, thats not full of old boys and planks. normally 1 article of f3c helis and that it so its a waste of time and paper for heli pilots imo.

I'll repeat again the comment made many times now and also in this thread ...

When heli pilots start writing more than the guys flying planks then you'll see more about helis. Since we spend more time flying than writing, we get to read about the planks

It really is down to us though, if we don;t take the time to write it we can't complain about not reading it.

I've yet to hear a single example of a suitable heli article being turned down for publication ...

Any word on the maltesers?

Same. An annual rolling membership would be fantastic.
