If anyone is found to be flying in the 'No Fly Zone' the Committee will invoke the Disciplinary Procedures. 
Details of which can be found by clicking HERE

It is now essential that no aircraft is flown in the 'No Fly Zone' AT ANY TIME. For those of you still unsure where the 'No Fly Zone' is please see the map below clearly showing where you must not fly. A copy is also retained at the strip along with the windsock and peg board.

Important Safety Ruling
Models up to 7kg can be flown by a G.M.F.C. Member who has passed the Solo Flying Certificate or the B.M.F.A. 'A' Certificate.

Models over 7kg can only be flown by B.M.F.A. 'B' Certificate holders.


No gas turbine powered aircraft are to be flown.

Flight Safety
It has come to the Committee?s attention that control fixings are not as secure as they should be. Accordingly, it is now imperative that you make sure your aircraft comply with the following guidelines:

1.  1. Keepers must be used on all linkages/clevises.

2.  2. Control surface hinges (flat, where fitted) must be pinned.

3.  3. Servos must be fixed as per the manufacturer?s instructions. I.e. if 4 screws are required then that is what should be done.

4.  4. A range check of every Tx must be carried out prior to flying.

5. Transmitters with damaged/broken aerials must not be used.

You must ensure that your peg is on the board before switching on your TX. This applies to 2.4Ghz sets as well as 35Mhz. 
If it?s a 2.4Ghz set then a black peg is generally recognised for this frequency.
