Dornoch Model Flying Club

The Dornoch Model Flying Club welcomes applications for membership from all age groups.

The club is affiliated (Ref:  2748 & 2804) to the British Model Flying Association (www.bmfa.org) who provide Insurance, advice, and the club is run in accordance with their rules, guidelines and safety codes.
