My interest is in free flight scale and fun/duration models. I always bring some models for people to fly.  I'm not concerned if they require some repairs afterwards.  Lightly wing-loaded radio models can be flown, with consideration of what FF planes are flying.     It helps everyone if the centre of the hall is kept clear for flying as much as possible. 


Location: Brailsford Centre, Ffriddoedd Road, Bangor LL57 2EH,  UK. what3words : ///drizzly.chained.neck

The centre is on a minor road, northeast of Ffriddoedd Road, that ascends slightly, and then there is a left turn through a barrier to a straight road headed southwest, along which you can park. There is usually ample parking close to the centre.  There is a coffee/drinks machine of middling quality. The nearest shop and cafe is in Morrisons at the junction with Holyhead Road.     Contact Martin Pike on members@sam1066.org
