Our aim is to provide a safe and friendly club environment for flying powered radio control model aircraft  - both fixed wing and helicopters.

We offer free training, using the buddy lead system, for people new to the activity. The objective is to get all members to reach BMFA "A" certificate level, after which they can fly unsupervised. Training is by Club Instructors recognised by the BMFA, and we have BMFA approved Examiners available so that tests are carried out at our own field, where the candidate feels at home.

Unfortunately, owing to a shortage of Instructors, it is no longer possible to guarantee trainees a personal dedicated Instructor. New members requiring training are invited to attend any (or all) of the flying sessions with their  model and request help from any of the other members at the site. In this way you will gain experience and proceed to the ‘A’ standard. This system cannot, of course, guarantee flying at every session but has worked well for many years.

Our monthly club meetings are held at the South Woodham Ferrers Village Hall where there is time to socialise in the bar before a brief formal meeting where the Committee is available to discuss any issues - then it's back to the bar again.
