Is RC Flying For You
Ever watched a plane slice through the sky and thought — I want to do that? Now you can.
Whether you're looking for a new hobby, returning to RC flying after years away, or just curious whether you could pull it off — come spend a couple of sessions with us. Last season alone, we helped over 30 adults and kids become confident, accomplished RC pilots.
Modern RC planes and radios are dramatically easier to fly than what you may remember. With our Buddy Box system and patient instructors, you simply cannot crash on your first session. The only question is: how soon do you want to start?

How Long does it take to learn?
Most students are flying confidently in just 2–4 sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours each. What will I learn? How RC planes work, how to use the controls, and how to take off, fly a circuit, and land smoothly — without crashing. |
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Training is completely free. We supply the plane, the radio, and all equipment. What happens after Graduation? Your instructor helps you choose the right starter equipment for your budget, prepares your plane for its Maiden flight, and gives you guidance for learning loops and rolls. |
The Buddy Box: You Can't Crash
With a Buddy Box cable, both you and your instructor hold a transmitter. The moment something looks off, your instructor presses a button and takes over — instantly. The plane never crashes because of student error.
This lets you focus entirely on learning rather than worrying about your next mistake.
The student never crashes. Only the instructor can.

We Train on the Best Beginner Aircraft Available
We use the Apprentice STS 1.5m — a large, stable, forgiving trainer plane designed specifically for new pilots. Its SAFE Select technology provides electronic self-leveling, making it almost impossible to lose control. As your skills build, you can disable these aids one by one until you're flying fully manual.
