The instruction sheet warns that the gyro must be set for either ordinary or digital servos. Wrong setting could cause servo damage. I used a non-digital servo. The plug sockets on my gyro were slack, so I had to fix that. The giro has to be correctly positioned in the plane so that it pushes the control surface in the correct direction when working. On my giro I set the Delay control to zero, the Limit control to maximum (140), & the DS to off. I connected the yellow wire of the gyro to receiver channel 5 (gear). The transmitter s gear switch is used to switch the giro on & off in flight. On my Spektrum 7 transmitter I set the Travel Adjust for channel 5 to :- + 0% - 10%. To increase the gyro sensitivity the -10% can be increased. But too much gyro sensitivity will make the plane wobble & shake. This gyro is very good for such a low price. See website - Hobbyking.com.

3 WEB-SOURCED WEATHER FORECASTS By Dennis Oglesby Most of us have used weather forecasts when deciding if or when to go flying. These have been available from numerous sources over the years, teletext, faxback, telephone, radio and of course, various websites. These keep improving (despite continuing cynicism) and I have found the latest series surprisingly good. I can choose from numerous local spots to anticipate in detail the conditions near to various local slopes. An example is shown below with the cursor placed on one time spot to extract more details for that spot. This was the detail downloaded the preceding Thursday! Hope this helps Denis Oglesby 3

Thank you. I have attempted to fly my fathers plane, which I converted to electric, the flight had little success. A month ago I visited the Model Shop Leeds and was steered towards the Horizon Hobby new foam trainer Firebird Stratos. With great excitement and one battery ( at this point my talents were in doubt) I took it to Baildon moor and had the most wonderful experience of smooth and controlled flight. The receiver mixes automatically and has a gyro to stop control movements which will c a u s e v e r t i c a l f l i g h t. With my new found confidence I took my 8yr old son to the Baildon site, flying over the golf course with the reservoir on the left he flew it into the sun and handed me the controller. That was the last we saw of it for the next hour. I have now bought a gps tracker from China which responds to a mobile, 35 pounds delivered. ( I suggested his pocket money pays for it but h e d i d n ' t s e e m k e e n ) Ive been back to Harden a few times but must be out of sync and look forward to flying it there also and gaining the A-test. Robert Mc Dougall 5

6 KADMAC SOLO QUALIFICATION PROPOSAL By Nick Hempel Since becoming affiliated to the BMFA the club committee has been anxious that we should be able to offer tuition and examination in the BMFA flight achievement schemes at both A and B levels, following Chris & Grants qualification as BMFA examiners we can now offer that facility. It is the committees hope that all club members will see the achievement of a BMFA qualification as a very worthwhile aim and a significant step forward in the recognition of both flying skills and flight safety. However, neither of these qualifications is (rightly) easy to achieve, and require lots of practice, time and discipline to reach the required high standards, worthy of a nationally recognised qualification. This obviously raises issues regarding the training towards these aims, particularly for relative beginners who have not as yet qualified for a KADMAC A certificate, and as such still require an experienced flyer to stand alongside to offer advice and assistance during the pre BMFA A test phase. It is therefore proposed that the KADMAC A test should no longer be tested for but should be replaced by a KADMAC Solo test, one for fixed wing and one for heli s. Existing holders of KADMAC A will retain all their existing rights and privileges. The philosophy behind this move is that a slightly revised test would be conducted, still along the lines of the BMFA test manoeuvres, but with the emphasis very much placed on safety, both in flying and in general operating principles and skills coupled with knowledge of KADMAC safety rules. Granting of such a permit, which would be by examination by club members meeting the present KAD- MAC A testing criteria, would permit the member to fly solo and unassisted if he or she should so wish. The club would therefore have satisfied itself that the individual member would have achieved a satisfactory, if basic, level of safety and proficiency. It is possible that we could consider the granting of such a permit to include a probationary phase of say a year in which any serious concerns voiced by club members could result in grounding and a re-test if con- 6

7 sidered appropriate. Furthermore the solo level would have restricted rights over the ability to train and assist less qualified members. This Solo test would give the member two options, 1 To continue to practice and learn the skills required to pass the BMFA A test and acquire the nationally acknowledged achievement and its benefits. 2 To continue to fly on a solo basis and develop at their own pace finding the level of skill and achievement which suits them. The intended outcome and the benefits are therefore 1 A safe flying environment where all members flying without supervision will have passed a test to a club defined safety standard and demonstrated knowledge of local flying site requirements. 2 A clearly defined progression ladder from complete novice to a nationally recognised flight achievement scheme. 3 Still allowing members to choose how far up that ladder they wish, or are able to, progress. Whilst still enjoying what is, after all, a fulfilling hobby and pastime. 4. Allow our club BMFA examiners to concentrate their efforts on tutoring and mentoring those wishing to progress towards BMFA qualifications without having to devote all of their own valuable flying time to the task. Nick Hempel KADMAC FUN FLY 7TH JULY 2012 HARDEN MOOR 2.00PM START Fun Fly on the 7th July at 2.00 p.m. on the Moor. All welcome power, electric, traditional, foamy, cockpit editors, etc. Excellent prize for the winner together with the Graham Wademan Trophy, no experience necessary, your chance to get your name on the limbo poles.
