NEW MEMBERS
We’re always keen to meet people who love flying so if you’re interested in joining LADMAC please contact The Secretary. We’ll arrange to meet up with you at our Flying Site, show you around and introduce you to our members. We can discuss your experience/ambitions and get a better idea of what you’d like to fly. If you’re new to the hobby we’d suggest learning to fly one of our Club Trainers with an instructor before you commit to buying and flying your own planes and equipment.
