The brainchild of Terry Westrop who won the title
of British Aerobatic Champion for F3A on several occasions, this annual British Freestyle
Aerobatics Competition was first hosted by the club in 2004. The
competition is sponsored and promoted by Radio Control Models &
Electronics (RCM&E) magazine and numerous excellent sponsors. For more
information see the official web-site www.bfac.org.uk

We help run the 3D Masters each year in conjunction Jeff
Barringer and friends. With everyone helping out the work is easy enough and it's good fun to
see what the whirly birds can do. Our main jobs are running the flight-line
which Chris managed superbly, ground side logistics (like safety fencing
& marquees, etc..) plus manning access paths. The event's
grown into a world premier aerobatic model
helicopters event.
Well done to all concerned & roll on 2007 !

Schools & Youth Clubs
|
Our egalitarian ideals extends into the local
community where we run craft events where children build & flying model
planes. As well as being great fun, it fires an enthusiasm for flight at an
early age, as well as building their confidence making things.
This voluntary work mainly involves the members
visiting local schools and youth groups to act as guest helpers for the evening,
or afternoon. We use BMFA education program kits (which we buy from funds raised
from a Christmas raffle) and have had a fine time building mainly the BMFA Aeroglide
with Beaver and Club packs as well as junior schools. |

You might even have seen us in the local
Telegraph or in the BMFA News which reported Brian
Cooper finishing off his centennial celebration of flight during an evening RC flying event
with the Wellingborough 4th Cub and Scout packs (eventually a 100 odd pupils signed
his special
trainer after flying it).
If your youth group or school is interested and
you're local please contact us for further details, and a big, big thank you to
all our sponsors below
who make this possible with their kind donations.
