Learning to model flying

Anyone can learn to fly a model

Anyone can learn to fly with a model airplane, but we can be clear about one thing:

- never try to learn to fly yourself -


This is guaranteed to lead to disappointment and your first plane will not last long.

Learning to fly at model flying club Valkenswaard.?

At the model flying club Valkenswaard you can always call on experienced instructors.

The instructors first give some explanation on the ground before you actually take to the air.
Then they will, for example, take care of the take-off and landing in the beginning, they also give you directions while flying and intervene when things threaten to go wrong.

This way you can first gain your first experience with your control sticks at a safe height, and learn what the behavior of an aircraft is when you make certain movements.

After the necessary flying lessons you can then determine together with your instructor when you will fly independently.

Right away flight simulator of course it goes. This is perfect for learning the controls and / or maneuvers.

How does it work for us?

At our small club it is very easy to find an instructor through one of the board members and to make an appointment with them.


Most of these instructors can pair you and his transmitter so that he can take control at all times, this generally prevents a lot of damage to the aircraft. (this is only possible if you fly with the same brand of transmitter).



  • You first start with some explanation so that you understand a little better how an aircraft works and reacts.


  • You start at a safe height and learn a number of basic elements of flying. (you also get tips here)
    Eg. what does an airplane do when it makes a turn ?, what is stall ?, what happens when the airplane flies towards me ?, never fly into the sun! ........ and so much more.

    You will soon see that piloting an aircraft involves more than just sitting at the control sticks of your transmitter.


  • Then there are certain maneuvers you must be able to perform
    Make a flat flight in the air, make a neat loop, make an emergency landing without an engine, make a go-around

    If you master these maneuvers, you can start flying independently.

Finally

The aim is not to scare you but to make you aware that you are responsible for your hobby.


After all, a model airplane can reach high speeds and generally has a dangerously fast-spinning propeller in front. Many people will certainly come a long way in a season (year) and can already fly independently. Afterwards, it is really enjoyable that you fly independently and can perform more and more arts with your model airplane.


If you take a membership at the model flying club Valkenswaard, the lessons with the instructors are always free .
