Learning to Fly

Learning to Fly

If you want to learn to fly radio controlled models for the first time, or are returning to the hobby after a while off, CDMAC can help. We have a number of BMFA qualified instructors within the club and training aircraft with which you can learn. Once you have passed the BMFA “A” certificate and have joined the club you can use our site solo if you wish. Until then you will need to be accompanied by an instructor.

Learning to fly the wrong way can be an expensive and depressing experience.  We cannot teach you how to fly on this site, but there are some excellent articles online that explain the basics including the following:

Also there are a number of RC flight simulators that provide a realistic experience of model flying. These systems can be a great introduction to our hobby without the constraints of weather or the inevitable prangs we all have!
