Tony Hooper

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Tony Hooper died last night. Condolences to Emily & RIP Tony. Tony has just recently stood down from being a director of the LMA, having spent 20 years or so working tirelessly on our behalf keeping the over 20kg & over 25kg wheels turning....

Re: Twin receivers

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...

Re: Alex Whittaker, photographer extreme, R.I.P

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...

Re: hight restrictions

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.

Re: 400 ft

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...

Re: Over 20Kg Scheme to be Over 25kg?

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.

Re: Over 20Kg Scheme to be Over 25kg?

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 ...
