Precautionary Measures and Information

1) As with all radio control equipment, we strongly suggest that you pre-flight your aircraft thoroughly prior to flying. When flying at a location with other FASST owners, particularly prior to all units having been checked, we suggest that prior to flying, all (pilots briefly activate their systems simultaneously to check for any interaction between units.) If any interactions should occur, do NOT fly. Please return the transmitter/module to the Ripmax Futaba Service Centre immediately.

Dogs at the Field

We’ve had an approach again from the farmer, our landlord, regarding his concern about dogs on the site not under proper control. This has been an issue in the past and we had hoped that all members would respond so that we do not endanger our tenancy of the field which everyone is enjoying and which we have expended considerable resources of different kinds to improve. We intend to continue these improvements but these plans could be jeopardised by irresponsible actions perhaps by only one member. With that in mind, the committee has to make it clear that dogs on the site, that is from the entry gate at the roadside onwards throughout the flying field, must be kept on a lead at all times.
