Weight Restriction: 5kg

1. All pilots must be BMFA insured; proof required before flying.

2. Entry to CL flying areas is not allowed before 10.00am.

3. All circles to be marked on a joint basis with adequate safety zones.

4. Circle centres to be marked to prevent wandering (a circle of flexible drain rods is good for this purpose).

5. All pilots to use wrist straps.

6. All lines and wrist straps to be pull tested to BMFA requirements immediately prior to each flight. Luggage sales are satisfactory but suitable attachments need to be added for attachment to the handle and strap to give an even pull.

7. Where no pull test requirements as specified for that class, a figure to be used will be agreed between the organisers and relevant CD’s

8. A maximum line length of 60 ft for all classes will apply.

9. No engine testing or running is to be conducted adjacent to spectator fences or in the car park. Any engine running that needs to be carried out can be done adjacent to the tape running from the control tower to the fence.
