About The Dirty Dozen Model Flying Club

The Dirty Dozen Model Flying Club – was formed in 2005 by a group of friends from the local and surrounding clubs, namely MKAA and Wicken.

The club is fully-affiliated to the national body - the British Model Flying Association (BMFA).

New club members are will trained for free, and can gain the BMFA ‘A’ Certificate.

The site access is controlled by means of a 4 digit combination lock. The gate is to be kept locked when flying as per the DDMFC rules.
Non-members and newcomers may fly as the guest of a member, provided they are accompanied by that member and can give evidence that they have sufficient personal insurance covering model flying.

Frequency Control

DDMFC operates the ‘peg-on system’: that is the pilot places his peg on the frequency board BEFORE switching on the transmitter. When the flight is completed (or the pilot no longer needs that frequency) then the peg must be removed immediately.

Pilots should supply their own frequency peg (a clothes peg is ideal), which should also carry the pilot’s name so that everyone knows who has control of that frequency.

Please note that your transmitter should also display a flag or similar device showing the frequency upon which it is transmitting. If you intend to change crystals, then you MUST change the flag.


PLEASE NOTE: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PHYSICALLY CHECK THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRANSMITTING ON THE FREQUENCY YOU SAY YOU ARE…
