I.C. Power Site
Power flying is from a 50 metre wide x 390 metres long tarmac runway.  Odd frequencies are used on 35 MHz and 2.4 GHz is becoming more popular. The runway is shared with gas turbines and also electric models with an undercarriage. Comprehensive training is available for new members on the club training planes with a buddy system so they can get a basic knowledge of rc flying before safely continuing training using their own suitable trainer. Please see the training  section for more details. Advice and help about  how to successfully fly your model and achieve sustained flights is readily available.
If you are nervous of the maiden flight, concerned about the model or your ability to fly it, we have some very experienced flyers that will help.

Powered Scale

models are popular on the Power Site covering a wide range from ARTF to vintage planes painstakingly built from plans.
Many of our scale modellers’ do seem to spend a lot time discussing flying and building techniques, so there is always help and advice available on that scale detail which makes your masterpiece look that much better that the average scale model.

1/6th scale Bristol M1C monoplane of 1916 vintage. 60 “wing span and powered by a SC52 four stroke. It was meticulously built over 18 months from a plan.
