hi all,
I guess i should start here, amongst the seasoned pros and novices alike, in my quest for a club/instructor in my local area.
I have a Seagull 'Boomerang' 4ch sports trainer fitted with an SC.40 engine and APC 11x6 prop and want to learn to fly this before the New Year (personal reasons which I'd rather not discuss here).
I've actually flown this plane on a few occasions before this with a nearby club, but this was around 2 years ago, and unfortunately on the last outing it suffered a battery failure - the battery lead disconnected after a steep turn - and it ended up plouging the nearby field. This resulted in a few holes in the wing section, a broken wing spar and also a snapped section of the vertical stabilizer. All the damage has been repaired with 1hr epoxy and balsa braces, and any holes re-covered with SolarTrim (as per another thread i posted here). Obviously it'll require a trained eye to look over it and deem it airworthy, but i expected this.
So, back to my initial query, could anybody suggest a local club or locally based instructor that could help with my gaining of a BMFA 'A' cert? I know of only two local clubs (Leafields MAC:
Many many thanks for taking the time to read this, i really hope you can help me!
Thanks again
