Does anyone have a dx6i That they could buddy me with?

Hi,
For X-mas I will be getting a Dx6i set, Will it be able for someone to buddy me to practice moves other than just doing circuits, Also do you think i should get the Dx6i, the dx7 Is WAAAAY to expensive, do you have any other suggestions of a 6ch+ Tx 2.4ghz that is able to buddy by someone who flys often in the club?

The Dx6i is a cracking little radio, and should keep you going for quite a while. I think the DX6i can be buddied up to any of the Spektrum/JR radios with the right lead, and I know there are quite a few Spektrum/JR users in the club, so someone is bound to be able to help out...

Cheers
Andy

Are you a club member?

Soon to be, As i dont want to waste £50 for the last couple of months, I should be getting a dx6i for xmas, so this si for next year, when i am a member!

I would expect the Mebership Sec to know who the members are.Surely he has a list ?

Yeah, tut tut tut!

Sorry to be negative but...
You must have BMFA insurance when you fly your model at the club's field. I do not think you can be considered as covered if you fly under the "umbrella" of the "Master pilot's" insurance.
Perhaps someone else could comment.
If there were an incident and you did not have insurance, the club would be in trouble with the BMFA. From the club's point of view, this risk is not a good idea.

You never know, Junior joining fee for 2010 might be abolished !!! and you coulld save some more money.

I believe that prospective members can come/.fly 3 times under club insurance

First Time Inexperienced Flyer
Club liability insurance can be extended to cover first time visitors to your Club who have no previous experience of model flying but are seeking to try out model flying prior to joining your Club. However, in this case cover will only be in place when the flights are being personally supervised by a nominated Club member approved by the Club Committee. No charge will be made for this additional cover; however, cover will only be in place for a maximum of 3 days for any one first time flyer. After this initial 3 day period the first time flyer must arrange his/her own third party public liability insurance cover, by joining the BMFA, prior to undertaking any further flying activity at your Club site

pretty clear, Nominated club member approved by the committee

Paul try reading my posts.I did not say all of you were rubbish,in fact I did not even use that statement.Though two posts in my opinion were not very encouraging.There are some members that really do encourage young people others don't seem to.
Also Paul it may come as a complete suprize to you but I can read and understand what the BMFA says.

Statement is from the BMFA web site re Insurance

As you have insider knowledge perhaps share it with me Who is dealing with it ?

If this is all about me flying at the club as a guest then it doesnt matter I will wait till next year when I am a member!

Sam if you want to fly as guest, there is no problem however you will need to contact me and supply certain personal information which I need for the temporary insurance cover and a simple form of authorisation needs to be completed by your parents.

If you forward your e-mail address to me in my PM box, please do not post it on the open forum. I will e-mail directly back to you.

You are welcome to come down the field as many times as you like as long as a parent or legal guardian stays with you, but you cannot fly a model until the insurance paperwork is completed.

Do you have anyone in the club who is going to instruct you or are you wanting the club to find someone?

It is Ok, I will wait intill next year to sign up, It inst really worth all the hassel considering the amount of flying I would do This winter with the weather being the way it is
Thanks

You'll still have the same paperwork to complete
