INDOOR R/C SMALL MODELS MEETING
Following the success of the three trial Indoor R/C Small Models Meetings held recently, Waltham
Chase Aeromodellers have booked the Main Hall at Wickham Community Centre, Mill Lane,
Wickham, Hants PO17 5AL for the following date:

Thursday, 2nd. September 2010

All meetings will run from 7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. This is the venue at which we hold our popular
indoor F/F meetings. The hall is not large enough for conventional shock flyers, but has proved
suitable for smaller indoor R/C models.

Models to be flown at these meetings are to be limited to a maximum weight of 130 grammes (4.75
ounces) for fixed wing aircraft, in flight trim, including battery (not to exceed a 2-cell Li-Po pack).
Helicopters are to be limited to a rotor diameter of 12” (305mm). All models will be weighed before
flight, and will be judged on their suitability for the venue on the evening. Models such as the
Kyosho “Minium” range, the E-flite Micro 4-site and the Parkzone Ultra Micro series appear to be
most suited to the hall.

Flying at these events will take place generally in accordance with our procedures developed at the
regular indoor R/C events, details of which are available on our website.
Admission to the meetings will be £4 for fliers and £1 for spectators, whilst accompanied children
will be admitted free. Junior fliers will be charged as adult spectators. Fliers will be required to
show proof of insurance.

Waltham Chase Aeromodellers look forward to welcoming all R/C indoor fliers to these events.
