IMPORTANT
As Wicken MAC is affiliated to the British Model Flying Association (BMFA), a condition of membership is that you MUST also be a member of the BMFA . This organisation not only looks after the rights and interests of model fliers at a national level, it also provides third party insurance cover and offers a host of benefits.
In addition, it is a legal requirement that you be registered with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) if flying model aircraft that weigh more than 250g – and this also involves passing a basic proficiency test on-line. This is explained here.
You are responsible for paying both your BMFA membership fee and CAA annual registration.
