Gift Voucher Scheme
Introduction to Radio Controlled Helicopters (£30 per hour)

Normally we recommend a lesson between 1 and 3 hours.  We can tailor our tuition to suit the needs of the student and are happy to teach beginners and people who don't have a helicopter or a radio control flight simulator but might be interested in getting into the sport.  Typical lessons comprise and/all of the following:

  • an introductory talk

  • a look at various types of helicopter that are on the market

  • a practice session on a radio controlled helicopter simulator

  • a flight with the student's radio controlled helicopter (dual control)

  • a demonstration by an experienced pilot

Note that buddy-box lessons do not require the student to have BMFA insurance.

Other Gift Ideas

We don't sell books but a couple that we can recommend are:

All About Engines by Harry Higley (published by Harry B. Higley & Sons, Inc., P.O. Box 532, Glenwood, Illinois 60425, USA) There was no ISBN number.

    This is an excellent book about model internal combustion engines.

A Comprehensive Guide to Model Helicopter Aerobatics by Russ Deakin (published by Traplet Publications Limited, Traplet House, Severn Drive, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire, WR8 0JL, United Kingdom.)  ISBN 1 900371 19 7

    Not quite as frightening as it sounds - this book is great for beginners and takes you all the way from buying your first helicopter up to simple aerobatics.

 

All are available from good radio control model shops.
