Welcome
The Bracknell & District Model Aircraft Club promotes the sport of radio controlled model aircraft flying in the Bracknell area.
We have a current membership of 80 senior members which spans a variety of disciplines from small indoor electric helicopters to large glow or petrol powered fixed wing aircraft. Our flying field is located about 5 miles north of Bracknell with easy access throughout the week. We meet up for a chat the second Wednesday of each month at the Red Cross Hall in Bracknell, except for the summer months when we meet up at the flying field.
The club is affiliated with the BMFA, The British Model Flying Association, and all members must hold BMFA membership.
Nearly new Hirobo Quark SRB for sale (no-Tx).
Very little used and in 'as new' condition. Comes in the original box with spare main and tail rotor blades. Also included is an upgraded twin bearing tail driveshaft. This version is as shipped from Hirobo with the radio/motor/Esc/battery/battery charger all included and fitted.
This model has not been crashed although I have broken a couple sets of polystyrene blades from tip overs.
I am selling this for £199 and it can be picked up or posted at cost.
We've just been informed about another incident at the flying site. On Tuesday morning a member was flying outside the field boundary, over the fishing lake and chicken farm. Ken received a complaint from both owners and was evidently not happy.
We must keep our models within the field boundary (inside the power lines), see diagram on website. Flying outside this area is strictly prohibited and against the club rules. Members who consistently break the club rules will be asked to leave the club.
Any further incidences of this nature could quite easily loose us the flying site. We must all be extremely vigilant and warn fellow members if they are flying out too far. As you know flying sites are not easy to get so let's keep this one!

Fellow Club members,
I have been approached by the Rotary club of Woking (Charity not helicopters) about taking part and providing a display of static models and flying small electric helis and park type foam fixed wing models. I visited the site this morning and have worked out a way we could fly there.
It is at Winston Churchill school and would be on the August bank holiday Monday.
They need to get permission from the school to use the area that I said could be used for the flying.
It really is only suitable for flying electric helis and small aerobatic type park flyers although if we did go, the static display could show off any type of model.
If any members are willing to take part at this event either with the static or flying, please let me know.
We may not get permission to use the area in which case we would not do just a static display.
Thanks
Graeme
