RC airplane clubs between London and Fairford?
Hi there,
I'll be visiting the RIAT 2007 on next Saturday with my friend who is also an RC pilot (we are F3A/3D pilots). As we are in the UK from Friday to Sunday and have spare time both days, it would be nice to meet some fellow hobbyists and maybe visit your flying places. If you have a place where you fly your planes between London (Heathrow) and Fairford we can visit, please inform us in this topic or in my email jjarsu (at) gmail.com. It would also be nice to know if there are some RC shops worth visiting nearby.
