Although we do fly helicopters at TMFC there is no facility to train new pilots and very little space to allow beginners time to practice while others fly.
Our rules dictate that helicopters cannot fly on the same flight line as fixed wing while models are in the air and that fixed wing will always take precedence over rotary. Although we have two runways, the 'main' runway is only available for hovering while the crosswind is active and that is wind dependent.
On quiet days there is no problem with members flying anything they want but when busy it can be possible that no helicopters get to fly at all.
We always welcome new fliers at our club but only allow pilots to fly helicopters once they have passed through the TMFC wings for fixed wing.
