Would you like some full-size Aircraft magazines? A gentleman in the Ledbury area has been in touch to say that he has about 10-12 years in bundles, some from 1950s. They are free to whoever is willing to collect. His telephone number is 01531 636497 (Ledbury exchange). (Posted 28th March 2006)
During the summer months Tuesday evenings are "Club Training Evenings". Flying starts at 5:00pm. Club Instructors are on hand to offer training on the club trainer or with your own aircraft. Regular "off-the-peg" club flying is also welcome of course. We'll also do model inspections and noise tests on demand. These evenings are proving to be very popular. The club-house has been tidied up with most storage items removed to the storage sheds, so we can meet there for coffee and a natter. Why not come along? (Posted 16th June 2005)

We now have a Club Training Aircraft, a Chris Foss UnoWot, built by John Warner. It is complete with a pair of Futaba transmitters and a buddy lead and can be used for initial training or refreshers. The gear can also be used with other Futaba-compatible models. The kit is normally stored at Bernard's home so please get in touch with him if you want to use it. (Posted 21st March 2004)
John Warner has produced an eleven minute video and DVD featuring our September 2003 model show. He is willing to provide members with a copy on either Video Cassette or DVD at a nominal cost of £3 to cover hardware costs. Please let John know if you want a copy. (Posted 30th December 2003)
Attention all members! Do you have any photographs of your model aircraft that you'd like included on the club web-site?
