Why do I need an instructor?

So you can fly your airplane again tommorow.

Most new pilots think that flying a model airplane is simple. Well, we will clarify this for you right now, IT'S NOT!

Flying these model airplanes is serious business. These are big toys and can be dangerous if mishandled. They are quite capable of severing fingers from your hand and can cause serious injury to others.

Your instructor will teach you everything you need to know in order to keep you and spectators safe.


When can I start?

Whenever you want.

Flying can be done year-round. Although the Midwest gets quite cold in the winter, there are many pilots that fly in the snow.

It is mainly up to your instructor when you can start. If they are available and the weather conditions permit, instructors are more than willing to get you started.
