    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 £150 and it can be picked up or posted at cost.

    Membership update
    --------------------------------------

    We have received renewals from all senior members, so thank you for that. If I got your renewal in November you will have your membership card / BMFA card shortly. If it was in December you will have to wait a couple more weeks (all now sent to BMFA - just waiting return). Membership cards will be sent at same time as BMFA even if you don't get BMFA through us.

    Now working through the waiting list...

    Club Meeting 11th January

    Will be at the Bracknell College sports hall again, for a (non) impromptu paper aeroplane competition and helicopter flying only. They have exams on so we can only use half the hall (there will be a curtain up splitting the hall in two). Usual time, 8 - 10 PM

    Trevor will provide rules for the competition shortly.

    BMFA Membership Cards

    This year the BMFA is changing insurers and this has cause a delay in their ability to issue the membership cards. I have just spoken with them and they expect that we should receive them in 1 to 2 weeks. This means that you might not get your BMFA card until after the new year. If you need proof of insurance for events or other clubs you belong to please contact me and I can provide a BMFA temporary card which is valid proof of BMFA insurance. Either by phone 01344 422429 or email secretary at badmac.co.uk

    I went and checked out the sports hall this evening.
    Parking could be a problem on site.
    I parked in service yard 4 pay and display area which is free after 8pm. Then I walked through the underpass at the end of the high street which brings you to the college main entrance.
    You have to enter through the main entrance so I wouldn't be loading yourself up with loads of stuff as you have a couple of double doors to go through.
    No food or drink in the hall.
    No marking shoes allowed to be worn.
    The hall is a reasonable size but not huge.
    See you next week.

    Next weeks meeting will be held at in Bracknell and Wokingham colleges sports hall.
    We have been told by the Red Cross that they need the hall on Wednesday evening.
    We have taken the opportunity to hire the college sports hall for some pre-Christmas indoor flying.
    Dig out those old indoor models and come down for some fun.
    Simon Wood has a couple of old models he is bringing to let others without a model to have a go.
    Indoor helicopters are also welcome.
    You need to bring some shoes as outdoor shoes are not allowed in the hall.
    Slippers or socks would do.

    We have the hall from 8pm to 10pm.
    For further info please call me on 07973 549742.
