Old and Bold RC PILOT
Just a note to inform those in the Northern Suburbs of Brisbane, (Aus), that a new club is forming and will start in the new financial year.
The club will be less a pile of rules and regulations and more a club of promoting responsible RC flying.
Some of the things already established are;
Demo flight models with Buddy Box setup to give first flight experiences to those spectators wishing to give it a try.
Assistance with learning to fly including loan aircraft, Repair assistance, and even Building assistance for those who wish it.
Proper flight instructors with path to licence if required.
Assistance with plane setup and pre-flight and even Test flights if requested.
A "Free" FT aircraft, (no Electronics of course), as a gift upon successful completion of first level competency for financial members.
3 flying fields to chose from with a new field, (Fourth), being supplied by local authorities as main field.
Repair service available for all aircraft, (you supply or pay for any required parts).
Retired aircraft pooled and available for sale, (Nominal fee), with funds going towards club assets and running expenses.
Building assistance and even a building service available.
Loan wing and fuselage Jigs, 3D Printing and a plans service.
NO ANONYMOUS members and club service suppliers available via email for outside hours assistance.
A minimum of 3 field days each week, (subject to weather conditions).
Currently trying to negotiate member discounts with local parts suppliers and model shops for preferred supplier status.
Perhaps if all works out it could be the RC club model of the 21st century!
