After receiving many enquiries about the date for Cosford 2023, we can confirm that after 31 years of the show being held at Cosford the RAF have sadly not given clearance for the LMA and the RAF Museum to run this year’s show at the airfield. LMA Cosford 2023 will therefore not be going ahead. But ...

I've not used Spektrum for a few years, but as I recall the flashing LED just means that a power interruption has occurred From the manual- Brownout Detection- Not Available on DSMX Receivers DSM2 receivers feature Brownout Detection that flashes the receiver’s LED if a power interruption occurs. Wh...

Looking at the receiver, it appears to meet the current minimum requirements for an over 25kg model. It's got two receivers, three antennas and two power supplies all built into one box, so at a top level looks to be functionally no different to two discrete receivers plugged into one power manageme...

No not yet, we'll publish the dates as soon as they are confirmed.

Steve's funeral will take place on 18th October, 10 am at Carmountside Crem, Leek Road, Milton Stoke-on-Trent. ST2 7AB.

Sue really hopes members will turn up and help give him a good send off and has asked members to wear LMA blue.

Flowers or donations to air ambulance please, meet at the crem.

By David Morris, Etc. An absolute shock to read of Alex’s Passing. Having met him over twenty years ago at Old Warden over twenty years ago with his photographer friend and at various other model flying events. His cheerful, like me, cheeky, impish manner always brought a smile to my face. Usual Cha...

In about a month all being well

No, it will be renewed within the next 3 weeks & before the current registration expires.

As a wise man once said 'there's a lot of good work been done to make things this bad'.

Yes that's correct. The CAA are delegating the approval of flying model aircraft over 7.5kg over 400ft to the BMFA & the LMA, for displays & permanent club flying sites. It's a bit of a pain at the mo, because the CAA have stopped issuing authorisations (there are no exemptions any more, eve...

Barrie,

For contractual reasons no, I can't at the moment say anything more than is in the articles(s). If there's some demand though, I'll see what more I can say about the model aircraft bits.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Depending on your radio, telemetry altitude & variometer is only an Arduino, pressure sensor & a few quid away. If not, a model at 400ft flying over something on the ground 100 yards away will be 500ft from you. Walk 500 ft from your model on the ground an...

Sounds like somebody's been bored during lockdown & just making stuff up.

Manned light aircraft on a permit to fly are inspected by LAA, not CAA, approved & managed inspectors.

If an model is under 25kg with fuel, it will no longer need an exemption as of next year, and new models won't need any inspections if under 25kg. If it is over 25kg it will continue to need an exemption and new models will still need an exemption, and we're currently reviewing the process with the ...

Yes as of the end of this year, the weight limit changes from 20kg without fuel to 25 kg with fuel (all fuel tanks full).

If the dust is a problem (and balsa dust can be nasty stuff, it's true) just use a whittling knife to round the corners off a bit
