North Leeds Model Flying Club Is On The Move

The Club is delighted to announce it has secured a new and fantastic flying site with planning permission and a 5 year tenancy.

The new site, located just four hundred yards or so from the old one has no known humans dwelling in the area!As such the new site allows us to fly I.C powered models providing they comply with the BMFA noise guidelines of 82db.

The Club Hut has been re-sited, a new entrance and gateway has been planned and approved. Two runways are being prepared for the coming season along with the car park, pitts area and taxi ways. The runways will be approx 120m in length and approx 25m wide. They will be suitable for all types of aircraft, including scale, warbirds and light weight foam models with retracts.

The Club welcomes members new and old. Joining is simple. Just follow this LINK to print out an application form or to see details of how to contact one of the committee.

Our AGM will be held in January 2012. Prospective new members are welcome to attend by arrangement. The date and venue to be advised.We look forward to flying with you in 2012.

Flair Tiger Moth by Colin Bassham

I didn't get into model flying until 1993, when I joined the Wortley club and started a long hard road of learning to fly. There were no ready to fly planes those days so I built from kits at the back of my garage. My first large kit was a T240 with a 28cc petrol engine. I even had to apply to the CAA for an exemption certificate. This was 1995 and I had joined the RAMS club flying off concrete runways at Acaster near York. I also join the LMA and went to Withernsea meeting where Ian Turney-White took my T240 up for its first flight. He let me land it on the second flight, and I bust the prop, but I was pleased to have got it down in one piece.

Bought this model direct from YT and started the build back in November 2008 and completed it mid February. Good kit and it went together well apart from one tiny problem.

H&M Performance FW190 with Sound !

After reading an old article in one of the mags left in our club hut I couldn't help thinking I'd like to try this sound thingy stuff in my recently acquired H&M FW190 (cheers Scott Cupello!) After looking about I opted for the Bendini mini system from http://www.benedini.de/ together with a USB programming dongle and amp. A few days later the goodies arrived in a very small box and I thought some chance of getting a large sound out of this thing but oh how wrong I was ....
