PANDAS May / June / July 2026 Club Updates

Dear PANDAS Members,

A few updates and events we have coming up.

Membership
We have 180 members so far for 2026. We usually acquire another 20 to 30 new members as the main flying season progresses. This will take us back to around 200 members by the end of the year.

June / July Meetings
At the June club meeting (Tuesday 2^nd June) we will be giving a further demonstration on basic transmitter / radio set up. If you want to bring your transmitter along we will help with any settings where we can.

Graham Worfolk will continue his with talk / demonstration on things such as rates, expo, throttle cut, basic mixing etc. (did not have time to finish it all last time).

At the July club meeting (Tuesday 7^th July) we will have a discussion as to whether the club should have a limit on the number of aircraft in the air at any one time.
