... Hi, You don't have to join a BMFA club to buy their insurance. I have had insurance from them independently of any club. however.... isn't their insurance only any good for specific sites? Sorry for mentioning that organisation.

Get BMFA insurance, its tried and tested.

Guy cut off his own thumb on a prop, they paid out.

Guy burnt down his garage charging lipos, they paid out.

I will buddy box you if need be.  :laugh:

Why not telephone BMFA. I found their guy very helpful re. insurance cover.

Insurance companies are always helpful until you want a payout heh

BMFA isn't an insurance company. They have extensive experience of claims through their policy and IMO it would be silly to dismiss them. Surely a chat with their guy wouldn't do any harm.

Okay so your over thinking it

BMFA
RCHA
FPVUK

All cover model flying and that's what your flying a radio control aircraft.

So they all cover flying radio control aircraft for hobby purpose

So a plane or helicopter or flying wing or multi rotor all covered by them
