RC flying in Poland


Recommended Posts

May be spending some time in Poland, I've seen a few of the lads out playing but not able to stop etc to enquire.

 

Could be me but  searches only throw drone nonsense and a couple of emails proved fruitless.

 

Anyone out there with contact detail for a club etc. Warsaw and Posnan areas

Hi Frank,

 

I went down a similar path a year or so back. My partner wishes to relocate the family back to her native Poland and one of my first instincts was to try to reach out to a model club in the right area (Lublin).

 

Well I joined the Lublin facebook group and made an introduction in Polish (via Google translate) and English, didn't get a single response.

I hope you have more success than I did.

Hi James,

I've joined, subject to approval the group linked above. I posted in English and did the Google translate, hopefully no offensive translation issues.

 

Son lives there,  wife (Polish) grandkids.  Daughter-in-law said expect some "issues" I'm fully prepared with Polish builder expressions!

Hi Frank, this is an active Polish forum I found last year:

This is a club near Warsaw I think.

I am not aware of the regs in PL unfortunately. From my experience, most Poles under 50 speak English pretty fluently, but I have found the online forum culture in PL, not quite as open as this fine old place.

There certainly is an active Polish RC community.  We had a Polish member who designed and built his own F3a models and, IIRC, won the Nationals about 6 years ago. He took it very seriously and used a dual prop setup which had 2 motors with concentric prop shafts, which was designed by a Polish friend of his. We called him Les (which was a contraction of his Polish name) I can't remember his last name.  He moved away to work on the south coast somewhere, working for a boat building firm, I believe.

I've seen a few bits and there is more interest in traditional builds as opposed to foamies. A shop I buy from sells plenty of artf and kits. Budget is another issue. £ is 5-1 against the Polish Zloty so not so much interest in very expensive eflite and similar offerings
