RDMFC in the press

Nice few words about RDMFC in the BMFA news this month from Ray Jones, He niglected to comment on the awsome 'Cath but Rich gets a couple of nice words.

Well done to all envolved in making the Aerotow what it is

Where's my BMFA news gutted, it's not arrived, Tom Stevens did mention on Sunday there was a write up about the Rhyl Aerotow

I burnt mine in protest at not giving 'Cath a rightfull send off! (and to keep warm mind)

Called round earlier to give you somthing but alas you were not home.

I've not had mine either Rich

Mark got his copy special delivery straight from the Sorting Office.

Not got mine yet either... Although, we haven't had any post since last week. On Calling the sorting office, apparently Abergele is classed as a "rural area" and deliveries are unlikely in this weather... Made me chuckle!

Must be a favouritism thing, I had mine about a week ago!

Still waiting for sodding christmas presents to arrive though! Skin of your teeth job now I think!
Anyone got a good template for a fancy IOU?

Our postie told us that he had been told not to deliver in the snow because of H & S

I heard the same thing actually. My old man was fuming! he used to be a postie in the 60's and "Used to go out in two bloody foot of snow - come Hell or high water, we went out! Its just H+S PC Bullsh## gone mad!"

Good old Pops!

say it like it is Ben,

Happy Christmas to all and thanks for all you help.

Got my copy today thanks to the wife practically having to "T"bone the mail van and grabbing about five days of mail off our postie. It's definitely a good bit of publicity for the club in Ray's article Good to see the achievement tests being tightened up, nothing too stringent, but definitely moved in the right direction. I like the fact that that candidates now have to take off across their line of vision rather than standing behind the model

We already teach them to do that, it's just bringing the pilots into the modern world.

My BMFA News came ages ago but have to say missed seeing the detail within the article.

I always insisted the candidate MUST demonstrate their ability to cope with a take off or/and landing in any direction specified.
The guidelines have always said the examiner can ask to see a manouvre demonstrated to show the candidate can cope with a specific situation.
Tough stance maybe,

I used to say well get someone else to test you.

The reasoning
We don't want silly accidents within a watching crowd (or just one person) just because the pilot can't cope if the direction is not just right.

That's a bit harse Paaul for someone taking an "A" test, I can understand the reasoning for a "B"test.
