Welcome!

Although
named "Scarborough” Model Flying Club our members also come from a
wide area around Scarborough including Malton, We
always welcome new members and if required offer friendly advice in choosing
and flying your first aircraft or helicopter. We are even willing to give
first time flyers flight training using the club's training aircraft. Our
flying site affectionately known to our members as "Yedingham
International" is located 9½ miles south west of If the
weather permits, most members meet at 10am every Sunday morning at our large
regularly mown grass flying field located off the Snainton/Yedingham B1258
road at map ref: OS 895809. During the summer months, we also like to fly as
often as we can in the evening. At the
flying site we operate an off the peg frequency control system. Frequencies
55-78FM inclusive are used for fixed wing aircraft, and 80-90 inclusive are
used for helicopters. 79FM is not used. There are restrictions as to the
engine size and weight of aircraft we are able to operate from our flying
field. As well
as flying model aircraft and helicopters we also hold committee meetings,
social meetings, dinners, visits, and attend local model shows. |
