There is about 4 jets in Arrowe park club,On a nice day you may get 2 but loads of prop planes electric and nitro and helli,s too.Any body can come down and have a look ask the lads about there planes,fuel cost etc,and you get to see some very impressive flying and equipment..thanks for looking and hope this is of some interest to you all.thanks

am new too flying rc planes and like to learn , i havent got a plane yet but i have got a flight sim on my laptop and learning to fly and i find it easy too fly in a sim but is this the best way too start b4 i go on a field and have someone that knows what too do if i get in too trouble and can land it for me , in the sim i can take off ok and land ok but its not like the real thing has the sim has not got wind .ken

Hi Ken,Flying a sim will do you no harm,it will give you an idea what to do and what the plane wants to do.The trouble is you have no wind,no depth and speed and other things that happen.Your transmitter setup and engine setup grass length and holes in the ground,sun in your eyes etc etc.Dont let me put you off going down to Arrowe park and joining the club.If you get any radio gear try and get the make called futaba,as that is what most people fly with and will be compatable with yours if you want to learn to fly with a buddy lead{a lead that goes from your transmitter to the persons who is training you and should you get in trouble he flicks a switch and saves your plane..with luck..Go down and have a chat and have a look at the planes ask questions..no one will mind..cheers Dave

ok dave thanks for the info so whats the best days too go to arrow as i was going to go on sunday but the wind was bad plus just read on the forums that someone was hang him self rip so i also like too do indoor as i have watched loads off clips on utube cheers ken

sat and sun are best days after or around 11am.lads fly after work too up till 9.30pm on the summer nights,tues and thurs are for electric only that gives the hospital 2 days rest of the noise,The lads get together for indoor flying at Pensby school on a sunday I think? best see some one down the field or go to the wrcfs {wirral radio control flying society}site on the net,that will give you more info.You will need insurance as well.If you join the club for around £70 thats your insurance and BMFA {British model flying association}membership and club fees,we have to rent the park off the council and need things like radio checking gear,tents and a load of other gear,we are quit a healthy club with around 60 members..check us out..Dave

ok i will see u hopfully sunday
