Ross-shire Model Flying Club

We are now in full swing with flying on Wednesday evenings and Sundays being the norm. Flying at other times is permitted but these are the days when most people fly.

Have you ever fancied having a go at Radio control Flying? If so why not get in touch, we are a friendly bunch who fly both aircraft and helicopters. Advice is free and we even have training aircraft at our disposal if you want to try before you buy. We are always on the lookout for new members.

The Ross-shire Model Flying Club is situated in farmland in the hills above Dingwall. It is very easy to find and once you are there the views of Ben Wyvis and the surrounding hillsides are fantastic. It is a grass strip site on a slight incline with plenty of runway length for the inevitable overshoots and dead-stick landings. The whole area is fenced in and on the far side runs a dry-stone-dyke, which a few of the regulars swear is magnetic. (If you know what I mean). Toilet facilities are somewhat rural with the nearest tree being a few hundred metres away.

If you are planning a visit then, in the first instance, contact the WEBMASTER. When you arrive at the site you will probably find either Barney Nicholas or myself (Steve McDonald). We are up there most of the time and should be able to answer any queries and introduce any newcomers to the hobby. We will also be more than happy to introduce you to the other fliers.

A few members are now moving up to bigger models.
