Junior Engineering Day - 10th April 2018

Junior Engineering Day – 10th April 2018 – UPDATE ……

The British Model Flyers Association

The BMFA will be running an activity on our Junior Engineering day, they will take participants through marking up the wood, cutting it out, assembling and the flying a model of either the Hunter or Javelin aircraft.

This activity adds to those already announced which are:

Metalwork – Mark up, prepare and rivet some aluminium
Woodwork – Mark up, cut out, drill some of the wood and build a bird box, paint it up and wait for the birds to arrive
Engine Maintenance – Learn how to strip, and most importantly, re-assemble a four-stroke internal combustion engine
Electronics – Learn how to read a circuit diagram and solder, then construct a simple circuit. In the afternoon, for those that attended the session last year or the morning one, a chance to have a go at a more advanced circuit (note that this assumes that you can read a circuit diagram and solder).
Electrics – Learn how to wire up a household circuit, then test it.
Flight Simulation – Learn how to fly a circuit in one of our simulators. Not just a quick test flight, by the end of this session you will be able to take-off, fly the circuit and land the aircraft.
Craft – Aimed at a younger audience, 7-10. In the morning design and decorate a keepsake box to put your football medals, jewellery, or anything in. In the afternoon make a paper banner for your bedroom.
