Free Flight flying has resumed at the Scottish Aeromodelers Association Pentland Hills site with three outings for some low key trimming and training. There is no intention of resuming competions in the foreseeable future.

Two members being from the same household have been down to Inverkeithing on couple of occasions for some Control Line flying. Unfortunately the problems of mitigating COVID 19 risks for the rest of us have not gone away. A draft protocol for CL flying has been written which addresses the particular problems of this discipline where Social Distancing cannot be maintained at all times. This protocol has been submitted to the SAA as mitigation against COVID19 but there has not been any response as yet.

The SAA have themselves published a protocol for Radio Control flying so the club training aircraft is being fitted out with a wireless “Buddy Box” system which will enable us to fly the trainer with Instructor and Pupil socially distanced.
