​

Please contact us by filling out the form to request flight training and our instructors will schedule lessons on how to fly.  Instructors are qualified and skilled volunteers who enjoy the process of teaching others how to fly RC aircraft.  As with any training, you need to crawl before you run - so please contact us before you go out and buy that beautiful warbird or 3D model with all the bells and whistles.  We can advise you!

​

We will help get you started with a trainer-type aircraft to get your journey started to avoid costly mistakes of poor airplane choices.  Sometimes a computer simulator can help as well, but get some lessons prior to using those aids in order to avoid bad habits that could impede your training process.  This can get you flying on your own much faster by reducing instructor time.
