oops, meant MJV - San Javier - lol

way too much jargon in rc flying - FPV = first person view (ie you see the view from a camera mounted on the model), LOS = line of sight (ie you can still see it with the naked eye if you took your FPV goggles off)

Hello Bert,

Just getting into FPV myself and have a couple of FPV airplanes in UK, also thinking about trying an FPV quad. I have very recently seen people flying FPV in Spain despite the legislation, and achieving long non LOS distances - over 7km. That is from open public land within the airspace of SJV (which is commercial and miliatary). No-one seems to worry about it (presumably until they get caught).

Sorry cannot help with clubs in Malaga, but happy hunting.

Cheers,

Laurence.

Hello,

Resurrecting a very old post, because...

I have just moved into the Torre Pacheco area and am looking for a model flying club anywhere nearby. I was excited to see Toddies post saying there was a club in Torre Pacheco - does anyone have details?  Also the club at Estrella Del Mar - is it still running? I wi;l drive don there tomorrow (sunday) and see if I can find it.

I would welcome any info on model flying anywhere within an hour's drive of Torre Pacheco/Cartagena.

I have been flying for few years, and fly fixed wing and helis - but my favourite models are gliders!

(Toddies email has expired on this forum so I cant PM him.)

Cheers!

Laurence.
