About Model Flying
It is very easy when watching someone flying a model plane to believe that it is very easy. I can assure you that it is not. However, it is not that difficult either but it does take time and dedication.
At Don Valley Model Flying Club you will get some of the best training around.
You will probably start on a "Buddy Box". This is a system where two transmitters are coupled together with a special cable. You have one set and the trainer has the other. The trainer will take off for you and set the trim on the aircraft before handing over to you. This is done at the flick of a switch. If you get into problems he can switch back and take control. It is that easy.
