Snodland Model Flying Club NOW ACEPTING NEW MEMBERS
-
Hi David Ashby was the information enough or do you want any more details and did you recieve the photo of the flying site Thanks Michael
-
hi the club is situated on the outskirts of snodland at the moment weve only got 5 members we were lucky in that we found a local land owner that is interested in the sport weve been trying to find somwwhere away from the village to fly because of the usual complaints of noise ect and hes let us rent a field up on the downs well away from housing ect ,as its in a rural area were restricted to certain flying times and stringent restrictions on noise emissions ie elecrtic or 4st with efficient silencers as thats the main concern with models in this area ,the actual flyimg field is a large grass strip as u can see from the picture its in a prime location over looking the medway valley with parking nearby and entry via a metal gate, we are very lucky to aquire this site and warmly welcome any new members to the club but we must stress that anyone joining must abide by the restriction imposed by the landowner as failure to do so will lose the site to everyone involved ,as it is its taken months of talks with the landowner and a flying demonstration with a couple of models so he could asses the noise levels needless to say he was very happy with the cessna flybys and mild aerobatics .grinning from ear to ear were still shaking from the experience nerves.... even now, but anyway we got permission hes even given us premission to fly at a private field near the farmhouse i think its so he can watch the flying.....anyway were here and if you want to join give us a bell ...... before i forget one last word a big thankyou to rob and ali newman of avicraft for all their help and assistance and advice in everything modelling without which we would not have got this far a big thanks to all. dear david if u could send us youre emaill ill send the pic of the field taken with windragon model
