Hi,

Ive got no plans at all for the bank holiday tomorrow and the mrs is away, so was thinking of taking a drive to a different club. Does anybody know of anyclubs around the midlands area that will be a hive of activity tomorrow with some good flying going on? I don't intend to fly at all just spectate is enough to keep me happy.

Regards

Stan

I think a fair few people will be doing family things over the bank holiday.

Our club, Smhc, has been relatively deserted over the weekend. We had more people in the depths of winter than we've had this weekend.

Don't think we'll get many more tomorrow either.

There should be a few of us at MK Heli Club. If you want to fly bring your BMFA (or RCHA) ticket. Good weather has been ordered.

Think ive narrowed it down to 3.

- Midland Helicopter Club
- Milton Keynes
- Eagle Rc

Anybody know which is likely to have the most activity?

I have been to all the clubs before at flyins etc....... So not getting into a which clubs better blah de blah, just want to see some action on spare day that i have.

You're welcome. It was good to meet you. Come again. See you at our fly in perhaps.

they were pretty shy, even when I pulled his leg about:

when he asked if they could have a flight (which they could if they can produce insurance - and they did)

was a good day though I guess - I guess they will come back at least for the fly-in this year

Always abit nervous at visiting another club and pretty sure its my first time ive flown at one too. Been to a few events and some of the good guys seem a bit dismissive of the average joe.

Not at MK tho everybody was really friendly. Certainly envious of those HeliGurus tho Awesome to watch.

Thanks Again

At the risk of going off on a tangeant, how are you liking the Rave? I spent Sunday flying mine after re-arranging some things since the last time and having gone back in and improved my swash setup. I'm really liking it now!

Im loving it!! Its so stable, tracks beautifully really giving me confidence, which is the reason i wanted it and proved to be a good move. My mate beat the living daylights out of it yesterday and it was begging for more. I was expecting it to be far more sluggish than it is. With lots of people saying you need the ys120. The 91sr gives it plenty of power for me. Loving the Beast X too.

Bring it on!!!
