Welcome to south coast model helicopter club
South coast
helicopter club is all about bringing people
together and RC model helicopters. We are a
friendly bunch of enthusiasts who share the same
interest, building, maintaining and flying model
helicopters. Our club's members fly pod and boom, scale and the new bread of micro electric rc helicopters and have
various flying skills. By no means think we are all
expert flyers, we have members who are at the early
learning stages of mastering to hover, right
through to 3d flyers. All the clubs members will be more than happy
to share their experiences and knowledge with
all new comers to the hobby. Our club is run on
the basis that it does not make a profit
from the members, we give honest
unbiased advice on what to buy, free help
with helicopter setups, free advice on understanding
your radio and of course lots of free help and
encouragement with learning to fly. The club
runs
a
Yahoo Group message board system for its members so they can keep
in touch with each other, if you need help and
advice, get stuck with something technical, just
post on the group and other members will always
be on hand to answer any questions you might
have.
As from July 2005 the club has
become affiliated
to the BMFA (British model flying association).
All current members must have BMFA insurance to
fly at the club. BMFA insurance can be arranged
through the club during membership sign up or direct from the
BMFA.
Members fly on
Saturday and Sundays and in the summer months,
light permitting, we fly on Wednesday evenings.
For obviously reasons, if its pouring with rain,
no one will be out playing, the hobby is very
dependant on weather conditions.
If you live in
or around Dorset and are curious about
the hobby, looking to buy a model helicopter,
would like to share some of our knowledge and
experience, feel free to come along to the club
and spend a day with us,
you will be made very welcome. If you would like
to join the club, need more information, you can
contact us via email
Here. Also have a look around our clubs
website. We have various photo's and video's of
members with their helicopters in action.
