Our club was first formed in 1968 and is affiliated with the British Model Flying Association. The main purposes of the club are to encourage, assist and promote the flying of model aircraft of all types. The club currently has over fifty members and there is a wealth of experience should you require any assistance.
BMFA membership can be renewed through the club as usual. Please use the application form below

My thanks to John for bringing to my attention to the proposed European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The regulations could affect the future of model flying in Europe which will include the Isle of Man, if it goes ahead without change. Hopefully, the BMFA and the proposed European Model Flying Union can get it amended. Further information from the BMFA can be found on the following link:
Manx Model Flyers members travelled to the Southport Air Show where they enjoyed an excellent day. Highlights included: the Red Arrows, Swordfish (escorted by two August Westland Wildcat helicopters), P-40 Kittyhawk, P-51 Mustang, B-25 Mitchell and a number of aerobatic display teams using Extra 300s and Vans RV4s and RV8s.

I thought we needed a change from fixed wing aircraft, so this month’s photo
is of Stan flying his Align T-Rex 600 helicopter at Jurby this summer.
Friday 5th August to Sunday 7th August 2016
This year’s Manx Model Meet will be over 3 days at Jurby Main Airfield. There will be scale and flying competitions at 12 noon on Saturday (starting with a static competition). There will be a BBQ at 6.00 pm on Saturday (bring your own food). Some members are going to try their hand at night flying, which should be entertaining. Overnight camping is available.
I think this publication has been out of a year or so but it is well worth a read:

28 members enjoyed a Christmas meal at the Creg Ny Baa on Friday 11th December 2015. The Creg’s food and service was up to the usual high standard and the evening was enjoyed by all who attended.
