Instructor for Plane check and Solo?
Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 4:27 pm
Hi guys - signed up to MAAC but membership not effective till 15 Sep (new policy I gather versus previous 1 Sep date). Still awaiting my MAAC number and card.
Putting lots of time flying planes and helos on Realflight and Phoenix RC sims. Planes skills are pretty well back according to sims - just waiting for my Multiplex Fun Cub to come in (end-month?).
I gather I'll need an instructor to examine my plane prior to maiden flight. While I have previously built several nitro planes from kits, this is my first electric plane. Also - since the last time I flew was 2002, I'd like to get an instructor to oversee 1-2 flights before my first flight/solo (not quite sure what training program you have avail for the club). Not before end-Sep though.
Although I have been busy reading all the helo tips at the HEFA RC university and putting lots of sim time in - my simulator virtual flying fields are covered with helicopter parts and rotors.
I gather RC helo flying takes time and patience - thus the plane to keep my fingers nimble till next spring. I can tell you this - it would be extremely expensive without the sim
