Methodology: Our approach to flight instruction is based on the HORIZON HOBBY Flight School RC Flight Training program. We train through an initial immersion with one focus - building quick confidence so you can safely take off and land your S.A.F.E.* equipped aircraft. While we do not strictly follow or teach from an instruction manual, for those that find it helpful, here is a guide that you can print and follow to build your flying skills to SOLO success.

One Simple Goal: Give you the confidence to take-off, fly, and land a remote-control airplane on your own using S.A.F.E. technology.
Experience: Our flight instructors are registered flight coaches and instructors. We have club training assets to get started so there is no need to rush to the hobby shop and make an investment before you contact us.
