LMAC assisting the local university with RC related projects

A team of Leicester University students contacted LMAC recently requesting assistance with the test flight of their Search and Rescue plane they have created as part of a group project.  Their initial wing wasn't really fit for purpose, so we had to improvise and give them a wing which worked and got the plane airborne.   Thanks to those LMAC members who assisted on the day.



Also contacting LMAC recently was Loughborough University Student Rob Law who is working on a project got get multi-rotors to track vehicles (formula one cars is the aim). Rob took the opportunity on Sunday 22nd March to do some testing as well as practicing for his multi-rotor A certificate. Whilst on site, Rob captured the following aerial video showing other LMAC planes in action.
