About Epsom Downs Model Aircraft Club
We fly 7 days a week, except for horse race days, from 12pm to 8pm or sunset.  Free-flight and non-powered radio-control models may continue flying until sunset when this is later than 8pm.  Models over 7kg and those powered by jet, rocket or gas turbines may not be flown on the Downs.  Control line models, catapult-launched models and drones are not permitted. These restrictions form part of the Byelaws, which along with the Club Rules and Constitution can be found under Our Responsibilities page.  Other restrictions also apply - this is just a brief summary of the main ones.
