Archallagan      

The committee believe that  to have a field which is available (weather permitting)  7 days a week (without chance encounters with the odd trials bike, learner driver, etc.) is good  .

It has therefore been decided that the use of the field at Archallagan will be continued  .

The runways are now regularly closely mown by committee members with the Triplex Mower.

Our Frequency Control System

The frequency control system used by the club is a peg board with all the frequencies listed.  .

 The system is the peg ON system. 

This means if a peg  is on the board then that frequency IS IN USE so do NOT switch on your transmitter.

Bring your own peg with you !
