If nobody has any information or links to clubs or site in the Den Helder area could someone please give me some links or information regarding frequencies, shops, insurance and or organisations I may contact about model flying in the netherlands please.

Many thanks for all that reply and a Happy New Year to everyone.

Lee, it's a good thing you did another post, I completely missed the first one.

Two clubdatabases, both are not complete but together they pretty much have the Netherlands covered:
www.modelvliegsport.nl -> clubs ( = Dutch AMA, BMFA, DAeC ...)
www.airtoi.com -> clubs

Dutch forum, meet the natives, we don't mind English posts:
www.modelbouwforum.nl
Ask for shops in that forum, I'm not from the Den Helder area. Maybe
www.quartel.nl -> 'locaties'. Chain of RC shops a.o. in Amsterdam.

Frequencies:
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ronvans/ -> frequencies

You have to check your third party liability insurance to make sure whether it covers RC flying abroad, and up to what mass.

Wrong thread, nevertheless, have a look at this one:

Or try the 'schaalmodellen' subforum at www.modelbouwforum.nl

Not in Nijmegen, but near Nijmegen. Elst, across the river Waal (Rhine)

My club, 12km to the west of Nijmegen:
www.rmvc-cumulus.nl
Better locationmaps:

What is your 'radius'? Car, public transport, pushbike?
