The Club
The official version.....
We are a dedicated radio controlled model helicopter club, who's main aim is to make sure all our members have fun! We have a large flying site at West Hallam, Derbyshire DE7 6HR (Location) that is conveniently located near Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield. We have excellent facilities that include 5 battery charging points, picnic tables, a club hut to shelter from the weather with facilities for cooking and making hot drinks. We have a diverse range of members from the first time hover hoppers to competent 3D pilots. Member's fly Spektrum and Futaba radios and helis from micro size through to 700 class and scale.
The club offers a wealth of knowledge to all its members. We can help novices to RC Helis start on the right path, by advising on appropriate equipment selection and where to find information on set up.
In reality.....
We are a bunch of old blokes who stand around in a muddy field comparing the size of our choppers!

West Hallam Flying Site
This is where all the action is, we have members here most days of the week during the summer months, and mainly weekends during the winter. The club hut provides shelter during the winter, as well as having the important tea/coffee making facilities.
We have a large flying site in a quiet area with plenty of space for those wanting to fly larger helis, and an area for those trying to master the art of hovering.
