Kilnhurst Model Flying Club is a small model radio controlled flying club consisting of 25 members.
We operate out of a fantastic site nestled above the village of Little Haywood at "Far Coley Farm". This is within easy reach from the towns of Rugeley, Cannock, Stone and Stafford, and we have a 5 Star Google Review.

My name is Paul, AKA Spooky. I joined the club at the beginning of 2012, and was taught to fly by one of the clubs instructors. Later that year I took and passed my BMFA 'A' Certificate.
Wanting to give back to the club for the help they gave me, I became one of the clubs instructors, and am now the Secretary and Webmaster.

The Club has Fixed Wing, Helicopter and Quad instructors, including FPV.
2023 saw us for the first time instruct 2 teenagers to solo fixed wing flight, and we are very proud of them. 

If you have never flown before, and are looking to learn, then we are here to help.
For fixed wing, currently to start from scratch, the cheapest you will get in the air for is just over £360 for your equipment.
We recommend a high wing plane (as they are more stable), with a wingspan of at least 1.2 meters, running a 2.2 amp 3 cell lipo battery (you will need 3 batteries to start with), a lipo charger, charging bag (for safety, they can go boom), a transmitter with at least 6 channels, and a receiver for your plane. I would suggest a WOT4, RIOT,  FMS Super EZ or similar.
For this price you are looking at a very basic FlySky FS-i6X with receiver (£63), but I would recommend spending more money on your radio, as a good one will last you ages. Take a look at a Radiomaster Boxer 4in1 (£139), or TX16S MKII 4in1 (£199).
If you are a bit flush, perhaps a Spektrum NX6 (£294). I fly a TX16S MKI, and have done for the past 6 years, a lot at the club fly Spektrum, but buy once, and be happy. Your radio is your best friend.
You will then require our club membership, BMFA membership (for your insurance), and CAA Pilots ID. You are now close to £500 on the cheapest, or £800 with the dearest, but the good news is, we do not charge for tuition, we do that free of charge.

This year (2024) saw us have our June & September official meetings at the flying field on a Sunday afternoon.
After the meeting we had a free BBQ, then got some more flying in. It was a great get together, and was very well attended.
