We have had several succesfull and enjoyable sesions of RC flying at our Crossgates site. A new member has started his training using a wireless Buddy system so social distancing has been easy to implement. We have also had a number of visitors from other clubs. A number of images of this activity have been added to the Gallery.

The FF members have also been able to use the SAA Pentland Hills site for Trimming and Training. Competition flying has restarted with the Scottish National Championship being flown Saturday 10th / Sunday 11th July with the excellent weather conditions being greatly appreciated.

Sadly CL flying has not restarted as the search for a replacement for the Inverkeithing site has not been succesful. So far 11 potential sites have been investigated but to no avail. The search continues.

We are pleased to announce that the club having got it’s COVID 19 mitigation measures in place is now able to resume flying Radio Controlled models at it’s Crossgates site. A number of images taken during check out of the COVID 19 meassures have been added to our Gallery.

Unfortunately we cannot say the same about Control Line models at Inverkeithing. This has come about due to the loss of that field to a Dog Exercising Company. This is extremely disappointing after 20 years of happy flying on the site and hundreds of hours of members work developing and maintaining it. An alternative site is being sort and a number of leads have been followed but as yet unsucessfully.

With the relaxation of travel restrictions within Scotland our Free Flight members are now able to travel to the SAA site in the Pentland Hills and are looking forward to Trimming/Training days. Competition flying is expected to restart in May after the lambing season.

During the Winter we have had a number of virtual club meetings on line so have been able to chew the fat on matters aeromodelling which makes a change from COVID 19.
