GET ALL THE TRAINING YOU WANT FREE
Have you ever wanted to learn to fly R\C Airplane?
Green River Lake R/C Club has instructors and available training
systems ready for those fledging pilots or 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 type aircraft similar to the one pictured on the right 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.
We offer initial flights lessons for those first time fliers
and if someone who wants to
continue to learn and earn their wings free of charge. But first we invite you
to become a
"Trainee Member" of "GRLRC Club".
A Trainee Member
is-
An
associate member, who has paid club dues ($15) for the calendar year can learn
to fly under the guidance of a Club Instructor with the "Trainer
Plane" club own, free of charge. Trainee Membership is not
renewable and reverts to full Membership upon meeting the AMA membership requirement.
If you already have your own airplane and radio gear,
and looking for an instructor to help you
learn to fly, first we would love to invite you to become a Trainee Member of
GRLRC club and our instructors are more
than happy to help you out on any flying day.
