"G-Man" Solos! - April 21 '07
Congratulations to George Hunt on his solo flight. Brad was very quick to retrieve
the scissors to cut the shirt off of George's back! (Click image for large version).
Training Program
One of the benefits of club membership is free flight training. CCR/C has a team
of experienced of R/C pilots who are ready to help you take wing, whether it be
airplanes or helicopters that interest you. We have a flight training program that
is easy to follow at your own pace. You will be assigned an instructor who will
introduce you to the thrill of R/C flying using a "buddy box", a duplicate
transmitter with a safety switch allowing the instructor to instantly transfer
control between the trainee and instructor. This system virtually guarantees your
successful completion of the program and protects your investment in your training
aircraft. And yes, we do cut off the back of your shirt when you solo ! The Club
owns buddy boxes for every major brand of radio. The Club also owns a complete
training outfit for guests to fly, but if you are serious about learning to fly R/C,
we highly recommend obtaining a high quality trainer, preferably an "Almost Ready to Fly"
(ARF) type. Your local hobby shop can assist you in choosing which trainer is right
for you.
