Lines 5 and 6 of BMFA guidelines

On arrival and departure ensure you register with the club’s track and trace process.

At the flying site only mix with members of your household or up to 5 people outside your household but stick to social distancing guidelines.

In England Ron, the 6 can still be from multiple households

So if 6s are used in 2 groups of flyers, and one goes home, then 1 can rejoin that group.

At my place we may fly with 10 on a good day

Our method is Hands, Face, Space, not to share equipment, wipe the gate etc etc and

We are On the Booking List, prior to arrival, signed in, time of arrival, and signed out

Apologies Ron, I was away and you asked me a question.

You have identified the crucial part, that we don't gather on a whim

And previous posts have set out that the Covid Safe mechanism should be in place.

Those flyers present should appear on a list so as they are contactable to track and trace.

" Booking " is accepted as being organised.

My concern was that observers outside our club may think we are breaking the law if they saw more than 6 on the field

Have looked in early as we are flying this morning

Ron

" good practice and records "

Means we can fly as an organised sports group safely with up to 30

Everyone in attendance has to co-operate

Are we talking about this type

You are right KC, large zoom meetings are very difficult to manage, and not recommended. All the participants

cannot possibly have a say comfortably.

A good idea for proposals and election is by email one week before, to give the Chairman a chance to read.

A good idea is for the existing committee to continue for the time being

You want a Lloyds Online treasury account

Can access anytime

Or CooP is free too

The sign looks to be " very informed ", a flying buff seems to have been involved in its construction.

The terms used are much the same as we already see from the BMFA.

Be careful quoting the law to the Police, as in a tussle they usually win.

BACS bank transfer from now on

Is socially distanced and has no surface to carry a virus

Can you borrow another 12v 7A alarm battery Graham

These packs can often show 12v but lack power

Your panel can not provide power without power enough at the input

Voltage is only half the story when checking packs

There are 2 forms of stabilizer

And SAFE may lead you to think the model is being " flown" and used on some trainers.

A " stabilizer ", barely takes any control, but reacts very quickly, saving the likes of a £500-£1000 Hurricane

From tip stalling just for landing.

Switch off for the rest of the flight

£20 can save a Whole lot of heartache

There is one on eBay at the moment Richard

Am with JD8, and that tank height can definitely siphon when the model is upright.

Siphoning produces excess fuel which will help the plug go out

Can you get the tank onto the floor of the model

My own preference Kevin, never castoring

At least have the wheel fixed, or in my case

Run the tailwheel steering up into a small right angle into the rudder, giving steering.

Just my take on flying

Just to add, we have a scanner at my place, and typically, in the pilots box, we detect 11 - 12 sources.

These are stronger, or equal to our transmitters, But

We have no issues and have had no issues.

The Military used 2.4 long before we did, and the band was designed and developed to operate in the " crowded environment.

Which it does quite well

As per previous posts, 2.4 does not work well below designed voltage and modelling does benefit from both range testing and failsafe setting

These two will buddy Basil.

The lead has to be ok, as well as the sockets, as in use, they can be pulled and damaged.

If the mechanical fittings are undamaged, they will pair.

The Master is Bound to the model

Then the slave, DX6i, needs to be flown while connected by buddy, and trimmed by an experienced pilot so as the novice can use this

When you pull the trainer switch On

Read this, don't skim over this next bit

The master, DX7 is to be switched ON

The Slave DX6i is switched OFF

BUT

The DX6i Must Be FULLY Charged
