Grass Roots this Saturday 4th June

With just a few days to go here’s a quick run down of the event

You need to fly five set manoeuvres and no linking up of manoeuvrs is required.
The Grass Roots set manoeuvres are listed here: 3D Format » Set Manoeuvres.

You are also required to fly a 2:30 to 3:00 freestyle flight, which should be based on what the judges will be looking for: 3D Format » Freestyle Round

There is no music round at Grass Roots.

Pilot registration will begin around 9:30am, with a pilots briefing taking place shortly after everyone is registered and sorted out.

A bit about the venue:
The Milton Keynes Heli Club are offering camping for the Friday night. Arrivals no earlier than around 15:00 the cost being £5 per pitch. Flying off the peg is available on Friday – bring BMFA proof of insurance. No cover, no fly.

Included within the cost of camping is a breakfast roll, either bacon or sausage, and of course the obligatory cup of tea. Contact Dave dave@mkheliclub.co.uk for further details of camping etc.

There is no charge for parking or spectating, just come and enjoy the show. The MK Heli Club will have food and drinks throughout the day, although there will be charges for these.

Finally…
There are only a small number of entrants this year, so the competition shouldn’t take too long to complete.

If you are still thinking about having a go, please do! It’s great fun

We will have some demo flights throughout the day, and then the possibility is there to open up the field to off the peg flying if time allows, and it’s all ok with MK Heli Club
