RC Airplane World Forum

hi I am Uwe a german living here since 8 Years

I have got 2 Boots(1 sub) a car a Tank(amphi) a Cameraduck and in a few Days my first RC Plane a Catalina Seaplane of Great Planes in the States

I am training to fly with my Reflex xtr Sim and it works well there..lets see how good it will be in real

I can't find any club close by
Anyone out there living next to Macclesfield/Cheshire? to join me flying?

I could also do it with informations where I will be allowed to fly my plane or if there are special rules..it is electro 1,36m wingspan arround 1,4kg weight

I contacted BMFG but got no answer yet

anyway I like this page looking forward to share my fun with flying with you

regards Uwe

Hello Uwe, welcome to the forum

I´ve got some Cheshire clubs listed on my site at http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/rc-fly ... .html#ches but not sure how close any are to where you live.

Google Maps shows quite a choice of lakes around the town, particularly to the west just off the A537 road, but I´m not personally familiar with the area so I wouldn´t like to say how suitable they are for flying the Cat from.
There must be a model shop or two in the town, I would pop in and ask - local model shop owners are usually very knowledgeable in local flying sites

thanks Pete

was to my modelshop yesterday ..she is useless but found two clubs not to far away so will get in contact
also just try to find out on wich of our Lakes I would be alowed to fly we have got at all 3 sorrounding the town and large enough but lets see what the council and waterways say
1 of theese Lakes to get to fly on would be great could have a nice day out when doing it cause got a submarine as well a WWII trawler a camera duck and soon a destroyer so a lot of toys to ride on water
looking forward to my Plane..got the reflex XTR simulator and train on it every day to get me better in flying and landing..good stuff for a beginner such a simulator..can use my FC-28 and the grafic is great..allready lots of fun
Lets hope my Catalina will not be my second submarine after first liftoff

here a vido of my submarine
