Hi Chris


can you provisionally put me in for this one please,


Thanks Steve FAI P19 please

[Chris Bond]

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MODELS WILL NEED TO BE NOISE TESTED PRIOR TO BEING ALLOWED TO FLY AT THE SITE     Over 82dB at 7m using LMAC equipment = no fly


FAI noise limit of 94 dBA at 3m will now be adopted.


please come prepared for this. 

[Peter Jenkins]

Chris, does that include electrics as well?

[Nigel Armstrong]

I would have thought it ment all models irrespective of power source.

[Chris Bond]

Yes all models irrespective of power source


Note however noise testing now to FAI noise limit of 94 dBA at 3m. as above

[Steve Hunt]

Chris, I'm away on business and won't be back in the uk until the end of the month, so can you PM me on who you would like me to pay for the site fees?


Thanks Steve


Ps hope everything goes ok at the comp and everybody enjoys themselves.

[Chris Bond]

Have been watching the weather forecast this week and it has included 60mph gusts , rain , and fog


Currently forecast is for heavy rain all day so heading towards  cancelling the comp but a final decision will be made 11am in the morning.


Chris

COMP WILL GO AHEAD

Do you have a lat long for the entrance to the field.  I've had a look on Google Maps around Foxton Locks but cannot see a field that looks like a model aircraft patch.


Thanks
