WELCOME

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 forum 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 became 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 more information, you can contact us via our contact page.
Also have a look around our clubs website. We have various photo's and video's of members with their helicopters in action.
