Phil Winks Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Have the local council made any improvements to the public toilet facilities at greenacres ? they were very basic and the building in serious need of repair/maintenance 2 yrs ago and I'm sure someone said they were even worse last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stringer Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I am going to try and make it this year but just for one day so i have a couple of questions if someone could advise me please 1. I hope to bring my Atom Special .. if there is to be a mass fly will it be Saturday or Sunday or both (i am most likely to be there on Sunday ) 2. Is there stuff there for mums and daughters? One restless 6 year old who is not that into planes will need to be kept occupied Thanks - hope to see you all there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Mass fly offs are usually on both days. See if you can get a Radjet for the mass launch. Crazy fun! There is a small playground and a couple of horses for the kids to admire. Other than that it's a huge field so bring beach games & they'll be happy. Last trip there my kids were playing badminton for hours! Much better than them playing on the X box. (brain coffin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Posted by Morgan Goule on 26/06/2015 22:03:37: Yes max whatever time you want from 10:00 am Friday morning tI'll whenever you want Note:- The Greenacres club members are setting up, and mowing the strip, all day Friday. There will be no flying until everything is complete - probably mid to late afternoon. Even then, it's at the clubs discretion on the day. Campers who turn up before mid afternoon are sometimes not allocated a camping space until the Greenacres guys have a moment to do so. So in the past, it has always been preferred if visitors come later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I once met a Durham miner when I was competing in a long distance motor cycle semi-sporting trial back in the 1960s. I'll never forget his name. It was Gary Cooper! None of we Derbyshire lads could understand a word he said even when he tried to speak English I suspect weasel might be from that neck of the woods. Actually, my main reason for posting is to ask if 35Mhz transmitters are allowed and, if so, will there be a formal transmitter control? I may be bringing my Maher's Thunderbird which still has a Multiplex 35Mhz IPD receiver. It depends on whether I get a chance to to have few flights with it next week as it hasn't been flown for a year. I'd run out of Silkolene oil and I had barely a half a litre of petrol mix left. I will eventually fit a Frsky receiver and fly it with my Taranis but I don't really want to mess with it in a hurry, particularly as my big model test pilot (Ian Redshaw) won't be at Greenacres Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Goule Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think so Geoff (Would have to check with others) Chris? We have a Transmitter Tent where all transmitters must be booked in and I know we used to accommodate for 35Mhz but don't know whether we still do.

Geoff S Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks, Morgan. The way the weather's looking this week I may not get a chance for a few test flights of my Maher's Thunderbird anyway but I've checked it out at home so I'll hope for the best. I haven't been to a fly-in since most people converted to 2.4gHz. Is there still a need for transmitter control? I don't think we bother at our Autumn scale fly-in at Ashbournne.

David Davis Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Do I take it that the Mass Build will not be a feature of this year's event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 We still have transmitter control for 35Mhz. A 35Mhz user will be issued with his Tx and a channel numbered clothes peg to put on the aerial. ONLY if he/she has this peg can he/she switch on his Tx. After the flight, the Tx is brought back and left in the Tx tent, and the peg becomes available for someone else to use. Of course these days, there are so few 35Mhz users that pegs tend to remain available for whenever you wish to fly. (Sometimes though we do have just a couple of 35Mhz users, and they turn up on identical channels. pure chance of course). Of course all pilots must book their transmitters in, at the very least to have them stickered to prove they've paid for a days flying. 2.4Ghz transmitter then tend to stay booked out for the day.
