There are robust replies from the Chairman and Secretary on the SAA Website, in answer to the VC's recent letter arranging an EGM. These make a statement on the validity of this EGM and cover the points made in the VC's letter. They are having a council meeting on this later this month. No doubt we will hear more.

Don't forget to bring along one of your 'scale'  models for Sun 6th May at the club. This is a SAA event. Everyone is most welcome. The idea is to encourage people to try 'scale'. The entry level is open to everyone and ARTF's are most acceptable. It does not have to be a warbird. Be prepared to fly a short schedule that is appropriate to you model (Alex K will keep us right). Something along the lines of 5 mins with three separate manoevers. Prizes! Start time is 10:00 am

Hopefully we will see some nice scale models as well. These will be flying the full scale schedule. 

Some members have asked about flying non scale models. Oh dear oh dear! The short answer is No, but come along and have a look. If its quiet or the weather is poor then yes no problem.

Hamilton Model flying Club has planned a fun fly weekend on the 4th and 5th of August where all RC flyers  are invited to fly off the peg

An area is available to set up your tent or park your caravan if you wish to stay over on Saturday, with both male and female toilets on site. Our runway is exceptionally long so should you fly larger models you will have ample room with the runway running west to east. We also have a cross runway, should the wind shift off the prevailing westerly.

Anyone wishing to fly will have to bring proof of Insurance (SAA, BMFA, LMA).

The flying starts at 10am both days and doesn’t stop until you have had enough!

Who we are

Falkirk Model Flying Club has it origins back in the 1940's and it was one of the founder member clubs of the Scottish Aeromodellers Association when the SAA was formed in 1944. With the objective of promoting and furthering activities in the field of radio control model construction and flying. (And also having fun with this fantastic hobby)

Amongst the club members are instructors willing to train beginners in flying and safety aspects of model flying up to a standard where the pupil can be assessed and helped to gain a "Bronze" certificate to allow them to fly without the supervision of an experienced pilot. The newly qualified pilot is then encouraged to progress and gain higher qualifications, which will then allow the pilot to fly in competitions and at public events.

What we do

Have fun mainly! Safety is taken seriously of course, but it is all done within a friendly atmosphere with co-operation the norm, and a minimum of rules.

Whats planned in May 2012
