What do you need you bring?

What do we provide?

• We bring the planes

• We bring the batteries

• We bring the chargers

• We bring the transmitters and 'Buddy' boxes

• We bring years of flying experience and love for the hobby

• We bring instructors who carefully bring you up to speed

• We bring years of hard earned advice if you already have a plane

If you're not sure you want to get into the hobby, don't spend your money now.

We'll train you on our planes... then, when you get hooked... we'll guide you in the right direction for your first plane, or second... or third...

​

Also, there are some R/C plane/helo simulators out there. Try the RealFlight series... an incredible help for those just starting out.
Crash and burn your plane... you're out a few hundred $$$... crash and burn on the sim... push  a button and start over.

​

If you would like to start off with your own trainer plane we highly recommend an E-Flite Apprentice S15e RTF Beginner R/C Airplane with Safe Technology. You can purchase with or without a transmitter. You can see a video review HERE

​

Gone are the days of spending months to build a plane! (Unless you want to)  Now you can purchase an ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) or RTF (Ready To Fly) that can be built in less than an hour. Strong Styrofoam construction and as little as 4 screws... and you're flying!

​

Also, if you don't want to deal with fuel powered engines, todays electric planes give all the thrills and speed you need without the duties required for fuel powered engines, however both are welcome!

​

Here are some excellent training videos by "Flite Test".
