Learn to Fly - Free!

Free RC Flying Lessons

The Introductory Pilot Program is free to the trainee. It gives the beginning pilot an opportunity to learn how to fly a club-supplied radio controlled airplane through the use of a separate controller.
     The instructor's controller has full control of the aircraft and at any time, with a flip of a switch, allows the trainee to fly the airplane.
     It's a fun and educational way of learning about model airplanes while getting hands-on flying experience.
     For more information, contact club president Terry Hubbard.
