What kind of heli?

There's the Tygerberg Model Flying Club (http://www.tmfc.co.za/) for big helis and the Indoor Flying Club at the Velodrome for smallish electric helis.

I have a Raptor 50 and a Trex 450. I'm pretty new to the hobby, but can fly alone - although not certified in SA yet. Durbanville is pretty far for me. I'm in Tableview. And Milnerton seems pretty windy and - unfriendly. :(

Come join us on the RCHQ forum (www.rchq.co.za) - a lot of the Velodrome indoor guys hang out there, myself included. There will be flying again next Monday!
