From Novice to Pilot...the Usual Steps

Spotlighting new member Nicholas Vedder

 

  1) A Club Instructor will teach you what the remote transmitter controls do to the aircraft's control surfaces, mainly the Ailerons, Elevator, and Rudder.

 

  2) Try flying a life-like computerized airplane on the Club's simulator.

 

  3) Using the Club's Buddy Box system, a Club Instructor will be your co-pilot as

you experience actual in-the-air flight control with a Club trainer airplane.

 

  4) After practicing flying the Club trainer airplane enough to feel comfortable, the Club instructor will disconnect the Buddy Box from your controller and let you try a solo flight.

 

  5) You will taxi the airplane, roll-out and lift-off, fly around the sky, then return for a runway approach, then a descending final approach, then touch-down and roll-out.

 

  6) Finally, taxi back to your starting position.

 

  7) Congratulations! You earned your wings and are now an R/C Pilot.
