Have you ever wanted to learn to fly R\C planes?

     Green River Lake R/C Club has instructors and available training systems ready for someone who just wants to try it out. This offers a very good opportunity to those folks who want to see if this hobby is something that they would really enjoy with no initial investment. 

The quickest way to learn is through what is called a "Buddy Box" system which utilizes two radio transmitters (one for the instructor and the other is the trainee) connected with a "buddy cord" between the two systems. This offers the quickest and most economical way to learn to fly and also gets you, as the student, on the control sticks very quickly. Time is spent teaching operational safety, very basic aerodynamics to help understand what makes the airplane fly, the controls on the radio and how they work and the basic flight maneuvers.
 
We use a simple and easy-to-fly trainer plane. It's not a speed demon by any means, but it is a very stable and simple to control "learning" platform which will quickly have you earning your solo wings.
