Apologies for the intrusion but with so many things on the go - I'm mindful that many clubs will be wondering if the RCHA will be offering a club pack this coming year. 

In short - Yes, this is the plan with  10m cover for members also.

We have secured recognition from Ofcom, CAA and UKRCC we intend to join various other bodies and affiliations ourselves in 2011.

So far, we've provided members with info from the CAA directly on there questions and we've pointed a new club in the direction of potential funding for there prospective farmer landlord to potentially gain support for renting out his land to a club.  We've enlisted the help of well established rc heli teaching school to build a whole new achievement scheme - built by those who teach every day and know exactly how beginners need coaching and the pro's and cons of the current scheme in a daily operational environment.  We've started our virtual media family that are already being used to help launch our first Fly'in that also is the venue for a Guinness World Record attempt. For which we've issued Press Releases to every local newspaper and tv station and we have also local filming interest from within the community.  This event is primarly a fun event, but if BMFA figures are true our hobby is shrinking and we need to be far more pro-active at shouting about our hobby externally. This is why the RCHA has pro-actively marketed the event to the public to raise our profile, we need to stop looking inwards so much and step outside of the box and see the bigger picture.  The boy, girl, mam or dad who buys a CX2 following seeing an event such as RCHA will in 12mths have a 450/.30 or .50 they will need the like of the RcHeliAddict forum and clubs around the UK to help them on there journey and gain the rewards and enjoyment that we all gain every weekend.

RCHA is pleased to annouce the first in a long line of record attempts to highlight the fantastic enjoyment, fun and challenges that our hobby delivers to its members every day. Due to the length of time its taken to gain approval from the Guinness World Records for the attempt the RCHA flyin will be put back till the 18th & 19th September 2010.

The World record attempt will be on Sunday 19th September, all pilots are encouraged to take part as we are sure once secured many other countries will aim to break the various records we set year on year. Other records being looked at are : "The Most RC Helicopters Inverted Simultaneously", "Longest Distance flown in either electric, Nitro and Gassers" and the "Heaviest weight carried by an rc helicopter". We feel these challenges will help to push our hobby outside into the greater public audience and give us the opportunity to show just how enjoyable our hobby can be
