South
Wales Radio Control Society are once again holding their annual
Open Scale Fly In at their Llandow flying site in the Vale
of Glamorgan, on Sunday 2nd September.
The
event will be run on the same lines as last year, with proceedings
starting at 10am. Flying will be 'Off the Peg' with flyers paying
a small entrance fee. Proof of insurance will be required. Any full
scale to semi-scale (ish) models will be welcome and at the end
of the day fellow competitors will judge the best aircraft of the
day.
Last
year's event was a huge success and had great coverage in the BMFA
News (Issue 44 February 2001). The report can still be seen on the
South Wales Radio Control Society web site at www.swrcs.freeserve.co.uk/scaleday.htm
The
SWRCS bought their own flying site some years ago. The runway is
tarmac covered concrete, 400 yard long and over 30 yards wide and
once formed one of the major runways of the former RAF base.
If
you want to make a weekend of it and visit some of the beautiful
coastline and towns of the Vale of Glamorgan, a touring caravan
park is situated no more than 400 yards from the gate of the SWRCS
runway. The Llandow Touring Caravan Park would make an ideal base.
See details below.
You
could also visit the two day Welsh Model & Craft Show at the
Ogmore Centre Trust, Ogmore-By-Sea, which is being held on the same
weekend (1st & 2nd September). There will be both indoor and
out door displays and model trade stands. The show ground is no
more than a few miles from Llandow Adults £3.00. Family £9.00.
Contact: DW Models in Bridgend on: 01656 665435.
So
why not make a weekend of it, flying at one of the best r/c flying
sites in the UK and enjoy the company of fellow scale modellers
at this friendly fly in!
