Glasgow Barnstormers Model Flying Club

Interested in taking up model flying? Come see us!

Step 1 - Check the weather app on your phone

If it’s between 11am and 3pm, the weekend and your weather app forecast says it’s not going to rain and the wind speed is below 10-12 mph then it’s safe to say there will be members there flying.

Step 2: Come along, say hello then ask our members to talk to you about model aeroplanes and helicopters. You’ll be there a while! 😊

☀️ is out!

Our special guests this evening were the 1st Lenzie Beavers who came along to learn more about aviation as they work towards their Air Activities Badge. They learned to understand the basic principles of flight, some of the potential hazards around an airfield and were entertained by a pulsating flying display put on by some of our members.

Welcome back anytime! 😁

Congratulations to Les on passing his Fixed Wing Bronze Award examination earlier today and can now officially “Fly Solo”! 😁

The SAA’s Safety Achievement Scheme ensures competence and public safety in model aircraft flying.
