So, you are thinking about stepping into the world of radio control (RC) model flying — we are genuinely excited for you!
Whether you are completely new or you have been watching from the sidelines for years, wondering how to get started, you are in great company. Every radio control pilot you see flying today once stood exactly where you are — curious, hopeful, nervous, confused, excited, and to take the next step.
RC flying is more than a hobby. It is the thrill of liftoff, the quiet focus as your aircraft tracks smoothly across the sky, the shared experiences at the field, and the satisfaction of mastering something new. Fortunately, you do not have to figure out the details alone.
We will attempt to summarize the basics needed to begin with confidence. A few high level topics include:
– How to choose a great first airplane
– What equipment is needed (and what you do not want/need)
– The basics of learning to fly
– Simple, practical, safety guidance
– Easy maintenance tips for your equipment
Our intent is to make your entry into RC flying welcoming and enjoyable. With today’s advancements, aircraft are more beginner-friendly than ever — meaning your first successful flight is much closer than you think.
When you are ready, we will look forward to seeing you at the field and watching you paint the open skies with your own radio controlled airplane.
