Hi,

I am really interested in learning to fly rotary wing models -
specifically Collective Pitch helis.

I'm based in Glasgow City and have transportation.

What's a good club to go to for CP heli tuition?

Any hints, tips, beginner CP heli / transmitter suggestions will be
gratefully received also!

Many thanks,

Kenny

Goedendag Kenny,

When practising with a simulator, make sure you use the same stickmode as
the club of your choice, otherwise they won't be able to help you! (and vice
versa, later, much later ;-)

Here's a list of BMFA affiliated clubs:

UK fora:
http://www.rcmf.co.uk/
http://www.rctalk.co.uk/

Scottish aeromodellers mailing list, a bit quiet (only one spammer ;-), but
you can always ask around of course:
