 There are Three GMAC Fly for Fun events organised this
year. All are open to visitors (No Walsall Flying Permits
required). However B.M.F.A. Certificates and insurance are mandatory, this is a
requirement of our landlords for anyone to fly at the field.
No reasonably sized
model aircraft will be refused on the day unless considered to be problematic.
The idea is to have an informal get together of
pilots. Both GMAC members and pilots from anywhere else.
It is not a show, and anyone can fly. Please see the
Galleries section for photos of previous
events.
Entrance is free, but to fly we have always
charged pilots a nominal fee of £3 per frequency. Pilots book their
transmitters into Tx control on arrival. Transmitters are tested and kept in Tx
control for safety reasons until a pilot requires it to fly.
Transmitters are returned by pilots immediately after flying. NOTE: With the
introduction of 2.4Ghz equipment, the "per frequency" requirement is
being reviewed. 2.4Ghz transmitters will still have to be booked in so
that flying slots can be controlled.
We invite a mobile caterer (Hot and cold drinks,
burgers, hot dogs etc) and also trade stands to attend.
There is always a raffle for prizes donated by Traders
and GMAC members.
For pilots that do not have a BMFA A certificate or
above, it has been possible in the past for a GMAC instructor to be in
attendance during a flight. NOTE: While this is very likely to be
possible, it cannot be guaranteed.
Camping available and we will be asking for a
small donation. There is plenty of room for
tents and caravans. We always plan to have a barbecue on the Saturday
night. This has been thwarted by the weather once or twice.
GMAC Members run the whole weekend. Marking out,
pitching tents, car parking, transmitter control, flight line
marshalling etc.
And also packing up afterwards. Please note that any
new volunteers will always be extremely welcome. The more the merrier - many
hands make light work etc etc.
