I could meet you at the Inverurie Flying field at the weekend. We fly heli's there most weekends, and there are a couple of Guys in the Club with Raptor 50's. The field is about 35 minutes drive from Fraserburgh.

I gather you've got SAA/BMFA Insurance? You'd need that before flying at our field.

Thanks for your offer of help Mike,and Alex its proving harder than I thougt to return to flying,as I trashed my last helie,still very nervous about flying.I built the raptor 50 about 8 months ago,it has just lay gathering dust.Hopefully this will be the turning point.

Thanks again

If you joined the club and were able to manage some days at the field you would get a lot more value from the heli. We have miles of open space, miles from anywhere.
We have some good instructors at the club and if needed you would also be able have the safety net of a buddy box to get your confidence back.

I can't think of anywhere localy where I could even have the Raptor 30 flat out in FF, it would get a bit limiting eventually.

The club flies mostly raptors so there is a load of experience. I can check out your heli at the weekend, and you can decide whether to join us or not. If you do, then we can get stuck into training:-)

Hi Mike,have tried setting up my CSM again,still getting the same results,contacted CSM,but there solutions didnt help.They are going to check it over for me.Should get word back from them tomorrow,see whats the prob,it must have been damaged when I trashed my raptor 30.

Once I get it setup again,will come up by the site,to see the site in full swing.

Catch you later

Cotter
