If anyone has pictures from the last Indoor Flying session, could they send some to me so I can put them up here on the web site. Thanks !
5/03/08 - I have just collected yet more items from my late uncle's huge collection of modelling goodies. See the For Sale page for a brief run down of what's on offer.
3/03/08 -Just a quick reminder of the indoor flying session on Wednesday 5th March @ The Grammar School - also a few extra pics from the last session, PLUS I have been sent a link to an eBay item which I think power flyers might find very useful for this coming season, just copy this number into the search box -360028962834
26/02/08 - Another update of pictures today - Rob Bougourd's new Fieseler Storch building project with quite a number of shots of this interesting aircraft undergoing construction. Check out his page for these pictures.
Some shots on the FLIGHTLINE page of the club's new Heli trainer. Huge thanks to all those involved with this project, it now adds a new dimension to our training facilities.
20/01/08 - Some great shots of Dave Wilkinson's new T- Rex 600 Nitro Pro, a new Jamara Discus CS and an update on his Tomahawk project - all on Dave's page
Dates & venues of Indoor flying sessions are:-
Time to give that Fantastic Foamy Flying machine an airing, or even just come along to spectate, all members, partners etc are welcome. REDUCED fees are £2 for flyers and £2 for spectators... bargain! See you there hopefully.
New today 6/01/08 - On the 'Flightline' page is a link to a video clip of Thomas David's approach to taking 'shockie flying' to a whole new level. This young man is always on the lookout for new ways to push the boundaries of his already skilful flying techniques.
Also on the 'Flightline' page is a preview of Rob Bougourd's new aircraft - Feisler Storch (F1 516) at an early stage of construction. Rob has promised a 'blow by blow' pictorial account of the build process over the next few months, so keep on eye on his page in the future for shots of what promises to be a cracking aircraft.
The Club Subs for 2008 are due now. These can be given to Dave Wilkinson or Shane Browning, if you are paying by cheque please make it payable to "Guernsey Model Club". The Fees for the year including BMFA membership are:
Senior - £44 Junior - £22 Family Junior - £18.
IMPORTANT notice to all flyers using the Chouet site - there is to be NO overflying of the Green Waste quarry during its opening hours until further notice.
Lastly... if you are test flying a new model, or one that has been repaired, it might be wise to ask fellow pilots not to fly whilst you are test flying as it will obviously reduce the stress factor in case you have a lot of 'in flight trimming' to do, and will allow you to concentrate on your model without having to worry if there is another model in your airspace.
*** A new page on the web site***,
for various shots of models, modellers etc etc ***
If you have any pictures of new models, or items for sale, just drop me an email - colinrou@tinyworld.co.uk or call me and I'll put them up on the site.
09/02/2006. An aircraft for Reflex XTR from John Ogier. He has modelled one of his Canard Designs for the simulator, and after having flown it himself, Dave W says that it is one of the most realistic simulator planes he's ever used. Download it here.
Chouet Scenery for Reflex XTR...Download the original file here. 28/09/2005. New version is ready. Looks just like flying down at the site! If you want a copy, let Dave W know, as it's quite a large folder. There is a night-flying heli download on another site, and he's also modified Chouet for night flying too!! Again, if you want a copy let Dave know.
