    CAA BMFA

    in All Things Model Flying

    Posted

    Can some one please clarify something for me, if we have the two CAA numbers

    the OP & FLY. When we renew with the BMFA do we have to have an A or B

    test pass, or can we still renew as we are with just the insurance.

    Hi Nigel, typical of all these sort of people who try to govern the country, pass the buck and let some one else sort it

    when they know they cannot. My flying days are over now because I know for a fact that at 83 years young no way could I remember all the answers to those questions. I have had a bit of a total up and I recon I will be sending about £1,000.00 worth of planes and equipment to the land fill site, Can't go fishing as I can't walk so far along the bank with all of the equipment, what a life we do live.

    Good luck to all who pass so as they can carry on with there sport and pass time.

    Mike.

    Hi, it is alright for pilots who live near to a club, we are two who live right into the country side miles from any club, or airport.

    it takes more time to travel to & from the field some times than to fly, we are country members of the BMFA. So how would any one come to us to train us we are really competent with the safety rules, and do not fly near buildings or over our car park area, also only one of us has an A certificate, so how can the other pass with out proper training from a club member present ?

    Hi, I may be getting a bit forward of my time but I do not understand what is going on with the CAA.

    All of the problems with getting a permit to fly with a plane over 250g, can any one explain to me if some

    one goes to a model shop or a show like Cosford and buys a plane plus all of the extras to fly it , then joins a club how can he learn to fly ? because he has not got a permit to do so, how is he or she going to learn.

    I watched a video from the BMFA showing how to pass an A certificate, the plane was a new one with tricycle under carriage ailerons flaps rudder & elevator, the two planes I have are the j. sixty & super 60, both are converted to electric, motor rudder & elevator only. how am I supposed to do what that plane did??

    My other planes are the two Radians, controls are the same, so what do I do to pass the test, safety is common practice, all I want to do is go to the field and have an enjoyable fly for a couple of hours, it seems the CAA just want money, or to get rid of us we are no where near any major airport,

    Hi Shaun, no rec. manual as it was already in the model. we removed the prop for safety.

    I have now been told that I have to buy a special cable to down load what it needs

    to set it up properly. so may remove this rec. and fit another one with no AS3X,

    We did a maiden flight as it was and it flew really well.

    Hi every one out there please help me. I have purchased a Radian 2.6 glider, every thing works but for the gyro, all it will do is judder no actual movement,

    is there some thing more than is written in the manual?

    I am using a Spektrum DX6I transmitter.

    HI, Chris, I hope you don't mind me butting in, but I think some one should have explained to you about wash out to help with the flying, I have been told that it needs about a 1/4 inch under the T/E at the wing tip.

    I did this when I built mine and it flew great, also do not forget that the original was a free flight model,

    No electronics.

    All the best Mike.

    Thanks Bob & Andy, time will tell, we will just have to wait & see, here's hoping some one

    will take over and all will be well, as it is with a lot of model shops closing I think the future

    looks bleak. Three near me which I used a lot are closed. I have to use the internet. the

    nearest is to far to travel to. any way all the best and hope for a good summer and plenty

    of flying.

    Well thank you all for your comments, I am a lucky one, I have now got all the aircraft I need, so will not be building again, I feel sorry for any youngsters that are coming along. Also for the kit builders no covering so will they buy kits?? As I am now in my early 80s not able to travel to far I will only fly until I have no models left. It certainly looks like the early end for all of the model industry.

    I am beginning to wonder what the LMA thinks of the situation.

    All the best to every one and have a great summer and lots of flying.

    Mike.
