Radio frequency control is
paramount in any r/c club, and we operate a "peg
off" system to ensure there are no
conflicts.
Flying Areas.
The
system illustrated here has been introduced to provide
as many flying areas as safely possible for beginners
and those members wishing to fly basic flying styles.
The diagram below is only intended as a guide.

Areas A, B
are designed for hovering and small circuits. Models
flying from these areas may fly into the areas
highlighted yellow ONLY if the main Flight Line C is
unoccupied. No model should over fly any other
designated flying areas when occupied or over the pits
from any of the flying areas.
Area
X is designed for hovering and small circuits and should
only be used by no larger than 450 size electric models.
Larger and Nitro models must fly from the end landing
area C. Larger circuits are permitted, but should not
over fly any other areas when in use.
General
Points
a. There
should NEVER be any flying over, near, or from the pits
or pathways, regardless of the size of the model. Models
should only be flown from the designated Landing Areas
highlighted above.
b. The
pilot should always be stood in the landing area between
the model and the pits, regardless of wind direction or
sun position. If the pilot is uncomfortable with this,
another flying area should be used.
c.
These rules are for the benefit of everyone,
please adhere to them and consider others who also wish
to fly, particularly at busy times.
From
1 December 2008, all members require a minimum of an ‘A
Class’ certificate in order to fly unaccompanied,
otherwise another member with at least an A Class must
stand with them, whilst either learning to fly or
practicing for examination. Members without an A Class
should not be allowed to perform manoeuvres beyond those
that are required for A Class certificate.
