Welcome
to our web site. The model aircraft flying club
in central Scotland near Cobbinshaw, Tarbrax and Auchengray, just
south of Livingston, West Lothian was set up in December 1998.
The objectives were to provide good facilities, good training,
good communications, and to provide the opportunity for people
to get started. We have turned the site from a basic peat bog
into the excellent site you see today. We continue to attract
both highly skilled flyers as well as that important commodity:
beginners. Please feel free to come along for a day's flying and
check us out - you will be very welcome.
Latest
News: The Flying Club is pleased to welcome members of The
Astronomical Society of Edinburgh who will be using the site
at night as a Dark Sky Observation Site.

Fliers will appreciate
the 66m
x 6m tarmac runway, 66m x 12m grass runway, the 20m x 3m
pits area, 50m x 3m access path, starter box and pilots
stance, together with the off-road hard standing car park
for 40 cars.
Great runways,
great view, great people = a great day out.

| Alternatively, come
and take part in one of our free "Fly
before you Buy"
days and see how you can get started. Check out our "Beginners"
page to get an overview of the hobby in general. |

If you
already have a model, don't despair! get in touch for a free
pre-flight inspection to avoid dissapointment at the flying
site. If you are returning to the hobby, we are more than
happy to bring you up to date and arrange a couple of flight
using our buddy boxes.. |
WE
ARE approx. 3 miles to the South of
West Calder (SEE MAP) and 3/4 mile north of Woolfords
Cottages.
THE CLUB welcomes applications from both new fliers for whom SAA
insurance can be arranged, and from existing fliers.
FLYING TIMES are approximately 10:00 am until dusk,
7 days a week. |
