Kevin Beale has very kindly offered his time and experience as the BMFA area chief examiner for those who wish to do their A & B tests for silent flight models off the slope.
So you can all have some time preparing for these tests (if you want to take them of course?) then please see the two links below to the BMFA website and the downloadable test information.
Silent Flight 'A' (Slope)
Silent Flight 'B' (Slope)
For you to attempt your 'B' test you must have already obtained your 'A'.
May I suggest the guys who are intending to take the tests meet up on the slope and practice the test together and help each other learn the manoeuvres? Someone can call out the test as we fly it. These tests do serve a very good purpose and it would be good that as many as possible at least try it and see how you get on.
I know Rob has a list of 6 people who have expressed an interest in taking the 'A's but if you can let me know then we can keep in touch with each other and provide help and encouragement if needed.
Rob and I am up for giving it a go - when it finally decides to stop raining!!
