About SCMFC
Welcome to the Website for the Radio Control Flying Club, SCMFC. Located near the M11 Motorway, junction 9 and the start of the A11, the SCMFC is ideally located for many Radio Control flyers.
The 1.3 acre patch was surveyed in the summer of '99 and seeded in April 2000. A lot of initial planning went into the location, the nearest house is about half a mile away. The site is about a quarter of a mile from the A11 dual carriage way, that fortunately provides a great deal of traffic noise! An ideal location. The prevailing wind also takes any noise away from the nearest property. The patch is an acre and a third in size and measures approximately 110 by 60 yards. It would probably cater for a micro-light or motor glider!
The grass has been rolled with a road making machine on several occasions and the patch is generally in very good condition. Future rolling is planned. Big wheels are however recommended with a minimum of one and a half inch diameter is suggested.
The site is on a slight slope and the prevailing wind blows from the left of the pits area. There are many flat fields to the north/west and a hill to the east. No problems have been encountered over the years with a variety of wind directions and speeds.
All Radio Control flyers are invited to join the club, fixed wing, helicopters, gliders, electric, petrol and gas turbine. The club is particularly interested in modellers who are inventive and want to try out new concepts and designs.
