Welcome To Our Website

Kilnhurst Model Flying Club is a small model radio controlled flying club consisting of 24 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. 

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. 

On this website you will find information about our flying times, engine restrictions, and more as its expanded.

BMFA Challenge 2023

On Sunday 15th May 2022 the BMFA for the first time got members across the UK to come together at 12 noon, to collectively attempt to set a new record for the greatest number of model aircraft of all types in the air at one time.
The attempt was one of a number of events celebrating the BMFA / SMAE Centenary.
Kilnhurst Model Flying Club were proud to be a part of this, with 11 members taking part, consisting of 2 fixed wing planes, 7 quads and 1 glider.

The BMFA were pleased to report after checking the submitted results from each of the clubs participating that they had a total of 3109 models in the air at 12 noon and that 263 BMFA affiliated clubs took part.

This therefore achieved a new BMFA National absolute record. They will be submitting a dossier to the FAI for the issue of the Diploma to acknowledge the achievement and, when successfully issued, apply for a World Record.

On Sunday 14th May 2023 at noon they did it again. 

Kilnhurst Model Flying Club were once again proud to be a part of this, with 8 members taking part, consisting of 2 fixed wing planes, flown by our new solo teenage students Liam and Sebastian, 5 quads and 2 gliders.

The BMFA were pleased to report after checking the submitted results from each of the clubs participating that they had a total of 2224 models in the air at 12 noon and that 182 BMFA affiliated clubs took part.

They are looking to make this an annual event, which will be great, as it gets the members together.
