The Area all

electric fly-in

took place Sun-

day 17th July at Epsom Radio Flying

Club field, Charlwood, north of

Gatwick, Full report later in the

Newsletter. A BIG thanks to Dave

Wolper, the committee and mem-

bers of Epsom Radio Flying for

their help in making the day run so

smoothly. I took my trusty Multi-

plex Rockstar, foamy glider and

Hobbyzone Spitfire. There was a

distinct lack of any thermals so no

worry about appearing on Gat-

wick radar with the glider. Despite

the small size of the Hobbyzone

Spitfire it has great presence in the

air, add that to a blast of the

theme tune from the Battle of

Britton from the PA system the

club was running turned in to a bit

of an impromptu solo display. I

thoroughly enjoyed the flight and

by the round of applause when I

landed it was enjoyed by others as

well (head starts to swell). As

there were a number of WW2

models there in the afternoon we

got them all in the air at once, an-

other enjoyable flight if not a bit

scary as where I fly normally there

are only 3 in the air at any time.

The area will be looking at running

the event next year and possibly

other events subject to the avail-

ability of the flying field.

The Area Scale Day ran on the

31st of July see report later in the

news letter

No one had come forward to say

they built or knows who built the

Cloud Hopper I talked about in my

last ramblings so I guess the no

longer live in the area or involved

with model aircraft.

I have been talking to Fabino of Ra-

dioc.com about the increasing num-

ber of people that they see that are

flying Quads and are looking for

BMFA Clubs that allow Quad flying at

their Club. I suggested these people

could start their own club. I would

be happy to help them in setting up

the club, so if you know of any one

that is in this situation then get them

to contact me. I’m also looking at

setting up a register of clubs that en-

courage quads so this information

can be passed on to quad flyers. I

know that the BMFA website club

page has some of this information

but it would be better if the Area

had a definitive list. So if your club

does allow Quads could you e-E-mail

me with details and I will produce

the list. As an aside, hopefully by the

time you read this I will have taken

(and passed) my Multirotor “A” cer-

tificate; yes the 5 mandatory ques-

tions made my brain hurt for a cou-

ple of days, but I got there so you

can “teach an old dog new tricks”

but it just takes a bit longer.

At the recent Area’s council meeting

the Achievement Scheme Controller

requested all areas to encourage

height a wing dropped and

without sufficient height to

recover the model spiralled in.

The plumes of black smoke

that arose told their own story

and according to Les after-

wards the only thing the jet turbine was now good for was

a door stop.

Chris Searle took first place in

the Scratch built section with

his truly scratch built Halber-

The Area Scale Day ran on the

31st of July as part of the Hast-

ing’s fly-in weekend.

The competition was split be-

tween the ARTFs and scratch

built as per the event last year and seemed to be approved by

all so we will keep this format

for next year. The weather

could not have been better the

wind did throw us a curved

ball as it changed from down

the strip to across during the

day then could not make its

mind up, but this did not de-

tract from a very good days

flying. Entrants were down on

last year with 6 scratch built

and 9 ARTF’s. Sadly, Ron

Thornhill’s Tiger Moth (last

year’s winner) had a hard un-scheduled landing smashing the

tail section off, it looked quite

severe so not sure if its repair-

able. Les Eagle had a very nice

Vampire finished in Red with

Swiss markings which was

flown in a very scale manner

however while in a turn at low

aminers to subscribe to the

achievement scheme website as

this would enable them to get up

to date information and receive

notification of any changes. This

can be done at http://

achievements.bmfa.org/

This year we have not run any

examiners workshops, this was

due to minimal replies from ex-

aminers, the few that did reply

have attended the last 2 work-

shops it would be nice to get the

Examiners that have not attended

any of the workshops to attend

at least one.

Area Chairman

Ashdown Forrest fly-ing times infringement

I have been contacted by The

Conservators of Ashdown For-

est, they have had a complaint

from a member of the public with

regards to an individual flying a

large model airplane in the Elli-

sons Pond area of Ashdown For-

est at 3pm 30th August; The

model was being flown very close

to a grazing enclosure. The South

Chase Ranger followed up the

complaint and the person flying

the model airplane was in fact a

member of the BMFA and pro-

duced his membership card. The

Ranger showed the individual a

copy of the terms of the License,

which the individual was not

aware of and further challenged

the flight times within the Li-

cense. Unfortunately, the ranger

did not get the person name or

BMFA number so I have no way

at the moment of speaking to the

person directly. I'd like to trace

the person to find out why he

was not aware of the agreement

so if you know

the person

could you get

them to contact

me.

BMFA members

are privileged to

be able to fly on

the forest, it is

not a right and

can be lost vary

easily so I take

this infringe-

ment very seri-

ously. I have spent some time in

building up a good working rela-

tionship with the Conservators

and was hoping to extend the

flying times when we renew the

licence next year but this will not

happen if we have complaints. I

have asked that the rangers get

the name and BMFA number of

the person if this happens again.

(Eds note - the agreement and map

of where flying is allowed was in

issue 225 of the newsletter, page 8)

S E Area scale day - Stuart Willis

The Cloud hopper - origin unknown

we could not tell. This is the

first one that I have seen

(heard?) that you can hear

while its flying as it uses the

airframe to resonate the

sound to great effect. I must

say, not so sure as to how the foam air frame and its compo-

nents stand up to the sonic

vibration that they encounter,

I guess time will tell. Steve

Carr had with him an ARTF

Bristol F2b Fighter, apparently

a very expensive import, it was

a highly detailed model.

Although not entered in the

competition Tony Nijhuis flew

his large Jet turbine Avro Vul-

can, it was bristling with scale

lights and even LED ring to

simulate after burners (which

no full size Vulcan ever had!).

The Hastings club has a lot of

pictures on its Facebook page,

well worth a look at:-https://

Lastly a big thanks to Bob

Hart, the committee and

members of the Hastings Club

for the use of the fine facilities

and continuing support.

Stuart Willis

Built was taken by Don Coe

and his Museum quality Black-

burn 1912 Monoplane, a for-

mer winner in the competi-

tion. John Prior, a new comer

to the competition world, was

3rd with his P26 Peashooter from an old Royal kit. I under-

stand the full size aircraft had a

high landing speed which John

tried to emulate but nosed

over, however the model did

not sustain any damage so lives

to fly another day.

The ARTF competition was

judged by the competing pilots.

They were asked to place 3

models in order of preference;

3 points were given for 1st

preference, 2 for 2nd and 1 for

3rd then totalled up. Tony

Manzur took first place with

his P51D Mustang. The model

was purchased as a crashed

model then restored. Tony

added panels made from 1mm

ally sheet and installed a full

scale cockpit, he is awaiting

the pilot to finish the model. The amount of work Tony has

done almost puts it in the

scratch built category. 2nd

place went to Paul Smith and

his Hawk 100. Paul gave sev-

eral im-

pressive

scale

flights. A

lovely

model

and well

out be-

yond my

flying skill

or bank

balance.

Bob Hart

took 3rd

place with

his Ty-

phoon. He also flew his

Mitchell II on which he has

done a lot of remodelling add-

ing a top turret and changing

the paint scheme to D-DAY

invasion marking.

Steve Taylor flew his electric

P51 D mustang, it has a sound

generator in it that replicated

the V12, Merlin or Packard,

S E Area electric fly in - Chris Searle

The BMFA South East Area has run,

for the first time, an Electric Fly In. It

was held at the Epsom Radio Flying

Club’s field near Charlwood in Sur-

rey on 17th July.

Early in the year an email was sent to

all Clubs in the Area asking if their

field would be suitable such an event.

There were 3 firm offers from the

Hastings, Barton Point and Epsom

Clubs and the decision was made to

choose the Epsom Club due to its

central location combined with an

excellent flying strip. The Epsom

committee led by David Wolper

were very keen to host the fly-in and

a meeting was held at between some

of their committee members and

Stuart Wills and me at David’s house

in April to discuss and plan the day.

The event was advertised and Club

secretaries were asked to inform

their mem-

bers. The

result was

that 17 peo-

ple from

various clubs

said they

would attend

and in fact

with a cou-

ple of excep-

tions this

was the case.

The field we

used is a large flat area with a

good size mown strip and the

trees a fair distance away. On the

day the wind, although moderate

to fresh at times, was at least

straight down the

strip and it was

warm and overcast

until later in the

afternoon when

the sun came out.

The Epsom Club

had set up a small

marquee and also a

b-b-q was available

which added to the

pleasant atmos-

phere which

prevailed.

There was a

variety of mod-

els flown with

the standard of

flying quite high

as there were

many “B” test holders and exam-

iners flying. Probably most impres-

sive to watch was Gordon Faithful

flying his large Edge 540. Steve

Taylor from the Levels 87 club

flew the P51 with the noise mod-

ule which made an authentic

sound on top of which Steve

showed everyone how to land

a warbird. Jim Christie from

the Felbridge Flyers had an ex-

citing time with his Bristol

Scout and was lucky to get it

down, the C of G subsequently

proving to be too far back. Bob

Hart from the Wealden Club

was flying a nice P51 in his

usual smooth manner. A scale

Pfalz Eindecker was brought

along by John Taylor from the

Guildford Model Flying Group

but the wind was just too

strong to risk it in the air al-

though he did fly his South-

erner 60. At one point David

invited all the warbirds to fly at

the same time which saw

“formation” low passes and

surprisingly no mid-airs and I

think the FW190s had the edge

but then I am biased. Apologies

to those flyers not mentioned.

The Epsom Club are to be

complimented for running a

very well organised event and

thanked for offering the use of

their field.

WOT, no wings????

good day for the cloud tramp flyers -

Roger Marples

On Saturday the 6th of August at

around 4 o'clock dog walkers and

picnickers on Epsom Downs were

mystified to see groups of people of

all ages and sex walking across the

Downs. They were generally carrying

small 20" span rubber powered balsa

model aircraft. The group soon set-

tled in the centre of the Downs and

the chat was of rubber motor

lengths, balance points and wing inci-

dence settings. Some of the inter-

ested spectators asked what was go-

ing on and were interested to hear

this was the annual Mass Launch of a

model aircraft called the Cloud

Tramp. The event is held in memory

of Charles Grant who was an Ameri-

can and designed the model in 1954

in an effort to get American youth

interested in aeromodelling, which

hopefully would lead to full size avia-

tion.

The models are launched simultane-

ously across the world at 17.00 hrs

BST, giving this event a true interna-

tional flavour. This means that in

countries on the other side of the

world such as New Zealand or Aus-

tralia the models are launched in the

dark, often in sport centres or illumi-

nated car parks.

The Downs meeting was organised

by the Epsom Downs Model Aircraft

Club [EDMAC]. Luckily for the

fliers, which is not always the

case, there was wall to wall sun-

shine with a fair breeze blowing

towards the famous

Epsom Grandstand.

Fliers came from far

and wide to fly in this

unique event, now in

its 22nd year. The

Club was pleased to

welcome the current

chair of Epsom and

Ewell Conservators,

Councilor Liz Frost,

and the past Chair

Jean Smith, both of

whom took an active

part in the proceedings. As the

minutes ticked away to the start

time, Ted Horne a veteran free

flighter, gave the impending

launch signal and got all the fliers

lined up in a straight line facing

into the wind. As the start signal

was given the air was filled with

what seemed like hundreds of

models [actually 26] all climbing

away. As always there was a lot

of good-natured banter as the

planes climbed into the breeze.

Some fliers saw their planes col-

lide with other CT's , some flew

for a just a few seconds with oth-

ers travelling literally to the fa-

mous Epsom Grandstand. What-

ever the planes progress the par-

ticular flier was enchanted by their

flight and agreed to come again

the following year.

The Cloud Tramp gathering is not

a competition rather an annual

event to cherish the memory of

the designer of the plane, one

Charles Grant. The EDMAC gath-

ering is perhaps the largest group-

ing of Cloud Tramp flyers in the

world and it has regularly 25+ fli-

ers at the annual mass launch.

All commented that the meeting

had been a great success and were

already looking forward to next

year!!

5 S. E. EVENTS

CRAWLEY INDOOR:

Nothing has been heard as yet regarding next year’s event.

SCALE DAY:

Very enjoyable day with some excellent models and flying. Thanks go to Bob Hart and the Hastings

Club for providing the venue. The Secretary will send a note to the Hastings Club on behalf of

the B.M.F.A. South East. A brief discussion ensued regarding so called “pot hunters” and how

the event might be made more fair to encourage more entries.

TOWNER TROPHY:

Little has been heard regarding this event.

ELECTRIC FLY IN:

This was a great success. Thanks go to Dave Walper, Chris Searle and the Epsom Radio Flyers. They

provided an excellent site with good parking. An event to definitely do again. It was proposed

that we might run a Scale Day here next year?

6 MATTERS ARISING FOR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING

A proposal has been made from another area asking the B.M.F.A. to get involved with local councils

where some Clubs have been billed for non-domestic rates for their flying sites. After some dis-

Page 7 Issue 227

cussion and first hand advice from some of the members present, it was felt this would be a “can

of worms” and would be better left alone. The problem could be tackled as and when it arose

with individual Clubs. A vote was taken and unanimously the assembled Members were against

the proposal.

There was a proposal that full policy wording should be made available on the B.M.F.A. website – this

was agreed by all.

7 2016 AREA GENERAL MEETING:

The date for this was set at 16th November 2016 at 7.30pm. All accounts to be checked and any receipts

in before then. The Chairman asked the Committee who would stand again for re-election.

CHAIRMAN WILL STAND

TREASURER WILL STAND

SECRETARY WILL NOTIFY

ED. CO-ORD TO BE CONTACTED

ACH. SCHEME CO-ORD WILL STAND

8 ANY OTHER BUSINESS

The Riddlesdown M.F.C. are looking for a new flying site. They are about to lose their

current site in Dormansland and are urgently looking for a replacement a.s.a.p. Some of the as-

sembled Members were able to offer a couple of leads – hopefully this will be of help.

James Gordon of Caterham and District M.F.C.is looking for a site to run a fun fly event

in August next year. They hopefully will find a site with space for camping for a weekend event.

Stuart Willis has been contacted by the conservators of Ashdown Forest after a member

of the public complained about a large model being flown in the Ellison Pond area of the forest.

The pilot was approached by a Ranger who established he was a B.M.F.A. member but not aware

of the terms of the Ashdown Forest License. Stuart reminded all Members that the terms are on

the B.M.F.A. website and should be adhered to, particularly as negotiations are ongoing to ex-

tend our usage.

9 Date of next meeting – A.G.M. /O.G.M. 2016 had been discussed and set earlier.

Meeting closed at 9.40pm

'Flying field needed urgently' 'Riddlesdown Model Flying Club will soon be homeless, as their current site - located be-tween Lingfield and Edenbridge - is to be sold by the landlord. The club has been in exis-tence for over 50 years, but needs to find a replacement site before the end of the year to ensure that flying activities can continue uninterrupted. We fly I/C, electric and some heli's. So...if you know of an amenable farmer or landowner, or are aware of a previous but now unused site - ideally, but not exclusively, in a 15 mile radius of Lingfield - then please let Malcolm Smith ( maladjusted@btopenworld.com ) or Dave Stiff (davidstiff@yahoo.co.uk) know as soon as possible.'

Riddlesdown Club need a new field

S E Area newsletter Page 8

The area all electric fly-in and area Scale both went of very well these are covered later in

the agenda.

I attended the May Full council meeting.

The meeting started with the usual administrative business. With the advent of the resignation of the PRO Duncan McClure, the Chairman informed Coun-

cil that we are not actively looking to co-opt anyone else to that position prior to the elec-

tions in November. Any tasks would be handled by Andy and Manny,

End of year accounts are being prepared and is expected to show a small surplus of £7,000,

In addition to this there is likely to be £20,000 from the profit sharing scheme the insurance

company runs

A number of proposals were discussed

1, Areas should submit a budget each year. The Honorary Treasurer and Accounts Manager

will devise a suitable form for this, in advance of the budgeting process for 2017/18. In addi-

tion, a form will be provided for Areas to submit their accounts in a consistent way.

Carried by a Majority.

That Area grant funding will cover the core activities:

discussed at Council;

fly-ins;

workshops);

Additional activities should normally be self-funding, or covered from any surpluses from

other activities. The budget form will include scope for Areas to request funding for additional

activities, which will be considered by the Honorary Treasurer, Executive and Council as part

of the normal budgeting process

Carried by a Majority.

That no funding will be paid to any area that has a bank balance at Financial Year End ex-

ceeding two years’ total expenditure. After much discussion the item was with-drawn and

was represented at the areas meeting in July, this is covered later in my report.

Dave Phipps the CEO has been involved with ongoing talks with a number of government de-

partments and international bodies over the introduction of potential new rules and regula-

tion on drones that could be detrimental to model flying. As part of this he has been involved

in cross-government working group on drones

Manny Williamson gave the council and update on the National Centre Project some of the

presentation is still confidential due to the sensitive nature of negotiations that is ongoing but

what I can say is that instead of actually purchasing a piece of land Manny is looking into a

long term lease and is working with a land management company as to the feasibility of this.

A number of proposals were put forward that related to the Achievement scheme in of which

the Hon Sec had received significant correspondence so decided to call an Areas Meeting this

is documented later in my report.

Chairman’s/Area delegate report

Page 9 Issue 227

The proposal to introduced a “Joining Fee” proposed by the Silent Flight Technical Committee

was rejected.

On the 23rd July I attend an Area’s council meeting the first for some while. The meeting was

called because of number of proposal that were presented at the full council meeting required

full discussion that time did not permit at the full council meeting.

Proposal: The Voting process at the area AGM Agenda for the election of Area Chief Examiners

and Area Chief Instructors either by simple majority or by a secret ballot of those duly author-

ised club representatives present and entitled to vote must be noted and recorded in the min-

utes of this General Meeting.”

This was carried unanimously.

Proposal: To elect a new ASRC Chairman for a “Full Review” of the running of the ACRC and the

immediate suspension of the BPC and removal of the mandatory questions until the review is

presented to the Area’s Council.

After much discussion the vote was taken and was not carried - 2 for, 12 against and 1 absten-

tion.

Proposal: Any new proposals by the ASRC on changes to the Achievement Scheme shall be sum-

marised in an appendix to the ASRC meeting minutes and supplied promptly to the Honorary

Secretary (in his capacity as Chairman of the Areas Council) following an ASRC meeting. Unless

a meeting of the Areas Council is scheduled to take place within the next 60 days, the Honorary

Secretary will circulate this document to all Area Delegates providing them the opportunity to

comment on such proposals.

Such comments must be provided within 30 days of this circulation, otherwise

assent from that Area will be assumed. Should a majority of Area Delegates have

serious reservations on any such change suggested by the ASRC, the matter will be

referred back to the ASRC for re-consideration at their next meeting prior to being

publicised and implemented in the Achievement Scheme. Carried unanimously with a proviso that area’s council will if necessary meet

annually in Jan or Feb if required to ratify ASRC changes.

Proposal: That no funding will be paid to any Area which has a bank account

balance at the end of its financial year exceeding two years’ total expenditure. The

two years’ total expenditure will be determined by taking the sum of the previous

four year’s total expenditure and dividing by two.

“Not carried - 7 for, 2 abstentions, 7 against; Simon had a casting as chairman and

decided to abstain.

Proposal: That the current 20 mandatory questions be extended to a much larger List and bro-

ken into specific groups that relate to the disciplines.

The proposal was rejected as it was felt that the current list is adequate.

In the Achievement Scheme Controllers report, he requested all areas to encourage ACE and

club examiners to subscribe to the achievement scheme website as this would enable them to

get up to date information and receive notification of any changes. This can be done at http://
