“The RCHA offers a new fresh, and creative
approach to serving the rc helicopter community in the UK.”
We set the Guinness World Record in 2010 with the ‘Most Helicopter Flown in one instance’. We believe we are the first dedicated helicopter association to do this we aim to do it again and again. This years fly in will be bigger and better.
A crash in any circumstances is painfully frustrating, but when a crash leads to injury or damage then things can get a little complicated. RCHA did provide its members with the opportunity to recieve insurance cover for such circumstances. In 2011 we have had to remove this element - but we will be looking at returning this back into our member packs in the future at somepoint along with the lanyard, decals, car sticks and membercard that goto members already.

"2010 the year when Flybarless
had its explosion and is now the norm"
So far Align launched the G3, Beast-X was released, the pioneers V-Bar have either launched or updated there systems, Curtis is about to launch his system more and more heli's now come either with or without flybar. Therefore the RCHA has decided to lanuch a site dedicated to flybarless.
"A structured Reviewing
System with Pilots at its centre"
RCHA will be reviewing products differently, we are looking for UK volunteers to be our reviewing group. They will be required to fully review and give and NCAP style rating on products from suitability, durability, value for money and overall position. Once complete the items will be auctioned.
"Safe, Monitored and Secure for all to use"
As well as the method used by RCHA to sell its recently reviewed items, the auction site can easily act as a more traditional classifeds function with a simple "Buy Now" button. With more flexibility and with a very robust rating system as well as secure you are safe in the knowledge that as much as possible is being done to make sure members can trade as safe as possbile.
"Your own Development is like a Journey with many Twists and Turns."
Learning to fly radio controlled helicopters can be so rewarding, but what better way to show that journey than through a programme of achievement.

2013 RCHA Club Affiliation Scheme and more...
The RCHA has been working to ensure that in 2013 we are able to give the radio controlled modellers of the UK an opportunity to support directly a body with a clear vision for growth, development and community spirit.
The RCHA Family is a virtual family that aims to represent graphically as much of the hobby as possible.
With interests ranging from the modest .50 to electrics and scale the family will be used to assist in the marketing development of the RCHA into Schools, communities and hopefully in the longer term help to expand the knowledge of the hobby to the greater public.
The Zone Format
The latest innovation in competition formats bringing back into it fun and a strong competitive edge - 'The One to Watch'.
3D Scotland
Scotlands latest premier 3D grass root flyers event - started in 2010 and looks to go from strength to strength
The RCHA is pleased to announce as a result of the tremendous support for the 2010 event we are holding our fun flyin again in 2011 again we will be doing world record attempts to highlight the fantastic enjoyment, fun and challenges that our hobby delivers to its members every day.
As last year we will be running a raffle to generate money towards the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance which we envisage will attend the event again this year.

Its imperative that flyers are aware of any safety issues concerning the equipment they might be using. In some cases this will effect electronics which can cover all forms of flight, as a recent example see how Nitro fuel could effect your Spektrum receiver if your not careful.
UAV's.
In January 2010 the CAA introduced new regulations that require operators of small unmanned aircraftused for aerial work purposes and those equipped for data acquisition and/or surveillance to obtain permission from the CAA before commencing a flight within a congested area or in proximity to people or property.More
