Welcome

The Exeter & District Radio Control Club flies at “Wrayford Field“, near Kingsteignton.  We provide flying training, at no extra cost, for members new to the hobby.  All members must achieve the BMFA ‘A’ certificate of flying competence before being allowed to fly solo.  BMFA insurance is mandatory for all flying members.

We also operate the BMFA “First Time Inexperienced Flyer Scheme”, whereby a person new to the hobby may fly a radio controlled model aircraft using a ”dual control” training system. They will be accompanied by an experienced club instructor.  A “First Time Inexperienced Flyer” is not required to join the E&DRCC, or the BMFA, at this time.   

Guests of members are welcome to fly with us at Wrayford Field for up to three days, in any one year.   This is providing they have BMFA insurance and an appropriate BMFA certificate of flying competence.

 Temporary membership for up to four weeks is available for model flyers holidaying in the area.  

All models are noise tested to comply with the BMFA /DoE 82 dB(A) noise limit, and failsafe functions checked for corrrect tickover /motor stop operation, before being flown.

Flying Site

Wrayford Field is located about one mile up ‘Hestow Road’, which is off ‘Brook Way’, alongside the “Ten Tors Inn” public house (TQ12 3NP), on the Exeter Road, Kingsteignton.  Hestow road is a single track lane with passing places and slow, blind bends.  The entrance gateway to Wrayford Field is on the right hand side of a left hand bend.  There are powerlines running up the valley, but as the highest powerlines are level with our Easterly horizon, and over 160 metres from the centre of the ’patch’.  Flying above them, when taking off or landing, presents no problems.  No interference problems have been reported with either 35Mhz, or 2.4 Ghz, radio control equipment.    
  
Because our model aircraft are flown from a mown and rolled grass circle, large soft rubber wheels are recommended. Our permitted flying times are from 10-00 am  on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  Our finishing times and other important information is posted on the club noticeboard.  This is located within the field, next to the model pits and car parking area.  Access to Wrayford Field is only permitted when club members are on site.
