RE: UK West Sussex rc jets??
Hi George
There used to be a few guys that's used Shoreham airport in the evenings to fly jets. There's the Hastings club that may have a few turbine guys in it although it's a bit of a treck from Worthing. Try visiting Sussex Model Center and asking there. It's a great little model shop and one which I went to when I was a kid.
Let me know when your in the UK as there might be a jet meet on somewhere, your welcome to have a go with my models.
HTH
Cheers, Alex

Hey Alex!
Ill be around from 28 until 4...not many days and not much of a free time
this time i will pay a visit to sussex model center to meet the guys for sure!
...Shoreham airport is a dream place if they are alow to fly rc jets there...and very close to where i stay!
..the times i was there i noticed lots of trafic (tigermoths AT6 extras take off and land all day long 7 days a week!) and dont know if rc jets can fit in there air space...
what got me sad is that my friend let me know they have an airshow few days before i arive[:@]

No worries George
My experience with flying models at the airport is over a decade old but the guys at SMC will be able to help.
I agree about the nationals if you can spare a day.

The sussex radio flying club has an arrangement to alllow model flying at shoreham airport. But, its only allowed with Tower's permission and after 8pm in the evening or on Christmas day when the airport is otherwise closed.
Oh and its been decided Jets aren't allowed.
Ive made my thoughts on that clear before.
The club in question has a 60x60m grass strip. Only really suitable for Savex L39, boomerangs etc. You have to have a B cert to fly, and approval from the committee. You could always ask the question though from their website. But there's only one other regular jet flyer there.
We used to fly at Dunsfold but weve had interference issues there, even on 2.4, so arent really brave enough.
Theres a group of us from West Sussex who to fly Jets make an hundred mile drive each way up to Wroughton. Fabulous site with open space and a tarmac runway. It takes a couple of hours both ways.
That probably says more about the possibility of jet flying in sussex more than anything else.

You are welcome to come over to Kent and fly my Sprint or Rookie at our Club, we have the most awful surface, (being attended too) but the most unrestricted site you can get, no trees, no buildings just uniterupted flat pasture, PM me if you are interested.
