Stephen Grigg Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi DW we have unfortunately been blessed with a very uncompromising neighbour who has spent a mountain of monet trying to throw us off.Everything she has tried has failed so she comes up woth something new.She has payed a company to set up noise meters on her newly built balcony thats been erected knowing where we are directly towards us.She lives 600 metres from the site anf has started proceedings against the club stating we are a noise nuisance.The club with the help of the BMFA have to present a reply on 6th December.I have walked across fields to her house and sat on a style about 75 metres from her house.The noise level is extremely low and would not be heard in side the house.Being 600 metres from a Motorway would be a lot noisier..She has complained about every aspect of the club,and as assured us money is no object in her quest to close us down.Its sad that someone has a vendetta againt 120 people who enjoy not only the hobby but the countryside and the camoraderie our club brings.Last sunday i enjoyed the company as much as the flying.

Delta Whiskey Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I take it this is the Slough club given the motorway nearby, as you were talking about another site in this tread too? Anyway seems like you are doing the right thing and involving the BMFA please keep us all informed ! This newbie thread getting longer & longer !

Dave Cummings Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi Doug, no, this is the Aldershot club, and yes, this thread goes on, and on, and....... I must come down to Kempton again soon. I bumped into Phil Wade the other day at work and he gave me his no. I'm just deciding what plane to get next as my super 60 is just about done, I've been flying Micks Wot 4 on a buddy lead quite well but I need somewhere more open to practice take off and landing and your place seems ideal. I have read many threads on here about 2nd plane/which trainer to go for, I can't decide at the mo, wot 4 reduced to 60% DR that I can grow into or a proper trainer, any thoughts much lay aappreciated dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The new Boomerang from Seagull looks a good model.But you need to check the front wing mount as theyve modified the model on the new one to make it easier to go electric.One thing to bear in mind is there are a lot of Wot 4s at the club so you wouldnt want to suddenly be looking at someone elses model!!.The Motorway I refer to is the M3 which passes Basingstoke DW.

Stephen Grigg Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have heard people mention this one but being a Seagull person would always recommend a Seagull model.I do believe a true trainer is the way for you to go,and it will give you plenty of stick time and confidence as long as you do not fly it in excessive wind conditions like you did the last one!!

Dave Cummings Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Steve, what was the make of that engine you gave me, I can see it is a 46 but the manufacturer seems to have been wiped off in the impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 MDS,I love Seagull did you find the wing should be more seeable now the leaves have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cummings Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks Steve. We think the wing may have floated off down stream somewhere, ot maybe our friend over the way got it and burnt it i've just ordered the Calmoto Aplha low wing in blue, should be here in a week, cleaned the engine today ready to go in, i'm all excited, so much so i've just been on the sim doing upside flying with a thunderbolt, almost did a circuit until i had to turn it up the right way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cummings Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Michael, you need something to do during the winter months when the weather is bad, what about slot/scalextrix racing, I could just see you doing that, indoors, in the warm, with your slippers on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Wearing a crash helmet and smoking your pipe,,thought you supported Man.Utd,a proper team,some of the players are British as well.I could only see the Calamato in Red,arent Chelsea in Blue is that why you chose it Dave.I believe the quality is very good,Remember Ross Clarkson building and flying one.
