General
Welcome to Boxhill
Helicopter Flying Club. We are a group of enthusiasts who fly
radio controlled helicopters for fun and in competition.
Boxhill Heli Club has been in existence for more years than anyone can
remember so we can't tell you how it all began. However, it's a thriving club, based in the surrey countryside next to the River Mole
between Leatherhead and Dorking. The club is 'heli-only', there
being many r/c plane clubs available in the local area such as Epsom,
Leatherhead and Elmbridge.
Membership
To be a member you must hold
a current BMFA license. Our membership is limited to 60 pilots. Most of the time the club
is fully subscribed but we do have a waiting list. If you'd like to join the club, please contact our membership secretary,
Mick Saxton by email on mick.saxton at btopenworld dot com
Training
and Qualifications
The club has BMFA qualified instructors and examiners and we encourage
our members to take their 'A' and 'B' certificates although this is not
compulsory. |

Some of our members take part in 3D and F3C competitions, some build and
