Metcheck Model Aviation & Rocket Forecasts for  St. Austell And District Modelling Club

Rocket man! Says he's gonna.... Oh, not that type of rocket?

The Metcheck model aviation and rocket forecasts are tailored not for the 747's which fly around the sky but for amateur enthusiasts who fly model airplanes as well as rockets and drones and just about anything else which needs to know the weather under 10,000ft.

This hobby is something which can be extremely dangerous in adverse weather.
