Chris Bott - Moderator Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It will probably be set/announced at the GMAC AGM at the end of Nov Cymaz, but I think it's very likely indeed that the dates will be the same weekend as this year. So that's June 20th/21st It will be posted on this forum as soon as we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very very hot off the press, the proposed dates for the Greenacres events 2015 are.... Drum roll... May event - 23rd, 24th and 25th May (Includes Bank Hol Monday) RCM&E Fly in - 4th and 5th July August event - 8th and 9th August These do just need to be agreed by the local council, but they have never objected to any dates the club have proposed in the past.

Scale, Speed, 3D/aero, Large, Open with slot times depending on number of aircraft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 GMAC marshals will be making some decisions in plenty of time before the event. The general philosophy has always been to try to accommodate just about anything anyone asks for (within reason of course). I'm sure this will continue, along with the lightest touch possible while trying to accommodate the sheer number of pilots wanting to fly.

Gary Manuel Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I've posted this in the 2015 Mass Build thread, but realised it might be better here as it's more to do with the Greenacres 2015 event Posted by Gary Manuel on 09/12/2014 19:04:02: I've already signed up for the Atom Special and am looking forward to building and flying it at my local club as I think it is something a bit different and will be a real challenge. I only have a fixed wing BMFA "A" achievement certificate at the moment, and am working towards my "B". Gyrocopters are rotary wing aircraft and are therefore, not covered by the fixed wing scheme. They are not really covered by the Heli or Multi rotary wing achievement schemes either, which both require powered rotary aircraft in order to pass the test. Has anyone given any thought to the BMFA certification requirements for the Atom Special at Greenacres 2015? I am aware of the problems of flying multi-rotors last year, and would not like to see people being turned away because they do not have the right certificate.
