Yes! but where can we find a site large enough for safe launch and landing? F3B ships are generally not as strong as F3F model for hard landing :cry:

If we can get access rights to the land just infront of 香港航空青年团(將軍澳)'s location, that will be nice :!: :roll:

If 香港航空青年团 can have a site, then so can HKRCSS.
They didn't paid for it, did they?

As far as I know, the air cadet is an organisation "connected" to the non profit making HK Aviation Club which is under the bureaucracy of Civil Aviation Dept of HK SAR.

My experience of getting my F3B done this year tells me that HKRCSS needs to be an "affliated" to the HKAC, then there may be some light or chance to get "land" or other support.

As I know, HKRCSS is an affiliated club of HKAC.

Cannot fly F3B there because you cannot bolt the winch on the ground. They said there are gases below and if you dig a hole and the gas leaks and explodes, ho . . ho . . ho . . :!: :lol:

Yes, the organizer reminded again that no bolting nor nailing be made even for 4-inch camping nails. Which means even HKACC can let us use the flying site under arrangement, we cannot make a proper F3B run without winch there. Alternatively, we may use e-power gliders for practice and to experience the 3 tasks of F3B if we can have the chance to fly there. But we'll lose lot of fun and excitement without winch launching.

If HKRCSS gains access to that site, will we be able to fly F3K there?
