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

You've all got mail.

Basically, if you decide to go flying, don't go to meet anyone from outside your household. If other people are there it's no different to other people playing a round of golf or being in the park at the same time as you. Maintain social distancing from anyone else.

Cad software is free, and 2D will be easier to learn than 3D for making a model drawing.

A rough estimate of my time to do some cad drawing came out at £12,000 (no vat) which is probably a bit spendy for a model plane.

Glen, you can test the gain by wiggling the gyro and seeing how much the connected servo moves. Zero gain, not moves at all, max gain moves a lot. movement should increase as gain increases. What I've done is set the gain dial to only go from zero to +100%, not -100% to +100%. That way, you can only...

It is indeed true us youngsters* are the future of the LMA & model flying in general. One day our time will come, one day.

Mike,
Did you get the last copy of the LMA journal just before Christmas?

In case you missed it, have a look here

https://www.largemodelassociation.com/resources/2020-caa-registration/

Don't care. Don't know. Yes, I'm not making it up. There's one registered drone operator for about every 600 people in the UK, so they are probably in the towns, villages, fields and valleys too.

There were 110,000 registered operators before the approx. 20,000 model association members were uploaded earlier this month.

To answer some of the more popular questions, I've added a page to the website. It's under Resources (from the forum you might need to click on Home first), and a link here

The bit just before you quoted says-

All of this applies all model aircraft except the following out of scope categories

• Models Under 250g
• Models Over 20kg
• Control line models
• Models Flown indoors

If anyone has NOT received an email from the CAA, but they did ask the LMA to register them with the CA, please let me know.

after june you will only be legal to fly if you do the test online. No that is not correct. After June we will be flying under an 'Article 16' operating authorisation that will also cover remote pilot competency. That will not include everyone having to do the CAA online test. The last issue of the...
