If it concerns R&DMFC it concerns us all whether we're at the event or not surely

I don't know Oggie from Adam Rich just asking that's all Is he a member ??

No not a member, he's flown fpv longer than most of the lads at Rhyl, very competent flyer, think he has attended Rhyl with the intention of joining, if he had joined his name would be the same colour as the members

Correct no issue with that but do you belive that the organising team wouldnt think to check on insurance? It makes no difdence to the event if they are a rdmfc member so again an odd thing to ask.

Many apologies for asking odd/awkward questions, I'll select silent mode and head back to Coventry

Back to the matter in hand.

Ive preped my trainer as well if conditions suit. Should have cath and a few others with me. Bit of aerotowing could be good too.

Shall i see if AJ is free for some heli demos like previous years?

That would be grand, you can't beat a good chopper demo.

We shall be there... can fetch another gazebo and 2 folding saw-horses aprox 1m wide. will bring a few static and something to fly aswell as fpv 250mm (that's if flying is permitted).

Ill bring the weasel along then for some glidery fun.

I better mend the motor in the MiniMag then, the bent shaft isn't going to help..

Andy

Stick a crappy cheap Chinese motor in it

Hi folks, a quick reminder that St Asaph fayre is the weekend after this.

As many planes and fliers as possible please. Models for static as well as flying would be good

bump

We are in for a nice day today followed by 2 days of heavy rain, however the forcast for Sunday looks good with light wind.

Fingers crossed guys.

Quick brief for the guys wanting to fly on Sunday. I will hold a pilots brief on Site at 9.45am with a few do`s and donts for the day but in preperation for flying can we all look at the following,

Pilot and planes
A cert holder are ok to fly models in there certificated catagory
NO TEST FLIGHTS or MAIDENS, all models flown should be proven fliers Before the event.
Failsafes must be set and working, a minimum of throttle to idle is a required (this will be tested!).
Control clevis` must be locked and secure (see pics below for an example)
Every flight must be made with a spotter/helper.
No more than 4 models in the air at any one time.
Starting I.C and "making live" of electric models to be done in the Starting box only (this will be marked out on the day)
BMFA handbook gives details of pre/post flight checks, I know you all do them every flight anyway, but its important. the excuse of "it was fine last flight" is invalid as there may be lots of touch and feel going on by the visiting public.
See the flight line director if in any doubt of sutibility of models/conditions.


Any models on static display and equipment are the responability of the owner, although we will all keep an eye on things there will be lots of people about. Our models should all be behind a barrier which will limit the chances of damage or worse.

Should be a good day lets get lots of you out flying the RDMFC banner!

What's the deal with Fpv and multirotor pilots ?

Come on down oggie

Cool we need sort channels for video
How many people are planning to Fpv?
What vtx brand fatshark/immersionrc or boscam?

I'll have some fpv stuff, all immersion rc. I normally install with the channel select accessible, so I can fit in however...

If u can set all your Fpv models to ch5 Andy then you should be ok .
Mark are you using immersion channels if so set them on ch7
Who else is fpving ? Vtx?

Yup will be on Ch7 Bud.

There will be a couple more im sure on FPV see on the day and ammend there vtx

I'll go on the same channel as you Oggie

To ALL club members!

Please come along and, even if you don't want to fly, help out on our stand. Even for a short while
This is the main public event that we do and it creates a big impression with the public about who we are, what we do etc

Bring static flying thingies! Bring flying flying thingies! Bring yourselves!
