Flying area two is intended for all pilots to use when the main flying area is in use, however beginners may feel more comfortable practicing in this area; however under no circumstances must they allow their helicopter to pass beyond the tree into the main flying area, or stray into or above the hovering setup area.

The main flying area is again intended for all pilots, under no circumstance must they allow their helicopter to pass beyond the tree into flying area 2, or stray into or above the hovering setup area.

You will all be probably aware of the recent formation of the Radio Control Helicopter Association (RCHA) The RCHA also have their own insurance scheme in place, unfortunately the level & scope of this insurance cover falls short of the current BMFA cover.
Therefore RCHA members must still be members of the BMFA to fly at our flying site.
