Sky Ranch Flyers R/C Flying Club - West Bend, Wisconsin

Flight Instruction

Learning to fly a Radio Controlled airplane isn't overly difficult for most people, but it really works best when you learn with an instructor. Many people who try to learn on their own, damage or destroy their airplanes early in the process, and sometimes just give up. Working with a club instructor means that an experienced flyer will ground-check your airplane, fly it, adjust it as necessary, and then teach you "step-by-step" how to fly it using a training controller commonly known as a "buddy-box". The buddy box looks just like a conventional radio, but it is connected to the master transmitter via a 6' trainer cord. You will also be given a Training Booklet that the instructor will record your success in as you learn to fly.

Our instructors are at the field, weather permitting, during the months from early May through the end of October. Tuesday and Thursday evenings are set aside for new learning pilots and weekends may also be an option.
