         Please Note:

 

         The ‘Flying field’ is for both Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing flying. Each has equal precedence on the strip. It is recognised that this mixed flying can sometimes create difficulties as they involve different styles and use of the strip. Members are expected to employ common-sense and where a problem arises to talk to each other and agree a way forward which will give all those present equal opportunity to fly ie take it in turns.

 

          “Respect each others rights”

 

         If one of our members is mowing the strip No flying is allowed until they have finished
