It's not a committee, it's a board now & has been since the end of 2018. The same way exemptions have gone the way of the dodo and are permits now. Anyway, Elvington has been rented this coming Saturday I believe by a club for their own use and not as an LMA event. The 2025 LMA flyins and flying...

The message below is posted on behalf of Dave Johnson, if you're interested contact him at chairman@largemodelassociation.com I’m writing with regard to an article about the DL5 half scale homebuilt aircraft, written by Ray Jones and posted on the Clwyd Soaring Association website some years ago. (S...

All the previous issues of the Journal (apart from issue 9 which seems to be lost) are available digitally in the members area of the LMA website under 'community documents'.

Thanks for the feedback so far folks, keep it coming!

Thanks for the feedback, please reply to the email I've just sent if you haven't already.

If you are planning on attending the funeral or the wake or both, could you please contact either Dave Johnson at chairman@largemodelassociation.com or me at secretary@largemodelassociation.com so we can pass on numbers.

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....

Sad to report that long-time member Harold Dowbekin died at home earlier today. Condolences to his family.

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'. If anyone gets really bored, how the operator ID is (sort of) generated is detailed on pages 149-150 here- https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/Easy%20Access%20Rules%20for%20Unmanned%20Aircraft%20Sy...

Not a recommendation, just found them on Google.

No it's real

BBC News

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.
