The Beaufort Model Flying Club was established in 1972. It is one of
the largest clubs in the southwest of England. Our membership spans all
ages and
interests, although our focus is primarily on RC models.
We have three grass field flying sites to the north/northeast of
Bristol. We do not publicise the locations of these sites, but details
are available to those interested in joining the club. Most of
our outdoor flying is fixed wing, though we do have a number of
helicopter pilots. We have a mixture of IC and electric models, and do
operate according to BMFA guidelines with respect to noise limits.
During the winter months we operate a very active and popular indoor
flying program in a spacious school sports hall, and also have a
program of meetings at a local social club
We are a very beginner-friendly club and we have a number of members who can offer instruction. We require pilots to have passed their BMFA A-Certificate test before they fly unaccompanied and we have an excellent record of training beginners, young and old, to this standard. As a beginner, you will find no shortage of friendly advice to help you get started.
