RADMAC News:

Museum of Berkshire Aviation - grand opening of their new hangar Saturday 24th May from 10am. The club has been invited to what promises to be a good opening.
The club has booked a coach from Reading to the LMA show at Cosford July 19th at the cost of £11 per head. Entrance to the show is a £9 adults, £7 seniors and £5 juniors. If you have not been before this is the best large model show in Europe and the museum is excellent too - there is a new 'Cold war' exhibit that opened last year if you haven't been to Cosford recently I can thoroughly recommend it. See Ron Perkins for tickets. Be quick they're selling out fast.

Reading & District Model Aircraft Club is based in Reading, Berks. in the UK We are affiliated to the BMFA (British Model Flying Association).

Like many clubs these days the majority of members are active in R/C modelling, mainly I/C Powered but with more and more members flying electric's. We also have a number of dedicated helicopter pilots and there are even a select few who fly free-flight or control-line.

The club has use of a flying field by the Thames with a grass strip. Flying hours are as follows :

Powered flight means any model powered by an Internal Combustion engine including airboats and power assisted gliders.

Reminder: please note that the extended hours at Dreadnought are for 'silent flight' - with the advances in motor power and battery technology, some electric models, generically considered to fall in this category, are far from silent. Please help us keep our flying field and fly responsibly.

Silent flight means any non-I/C powered models (including electric, rubber, CO2 power) or gliders.
