Basic safe flying at the club
The following rules must be followed to promote safe flying at the club.
If you are a new flyer you'll soon realise that R/C helicopters can be very
dangerous if basic safety measures are not followed.
Bob Pearson, the club safety
officer, is available to give advice at the field most weekends, Saturdays and
Sundays.
Alternatively you can always ask the more experienced
members for guidance, they'll be more than happy to help.
Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility and in everyone's best interests.
