Newcomers to  R/C Helicopters

On joining the club we can offer all the help, advice and tuition you need, including useful advice on suitable equipment for beginners to the hobby.  We have club instructors who will be happy to check your model over during and after construction, and will take you through the setting up procedures and pre-flight checks.

When you're ready for your first flight our instructors can give you coaching if necessary and will help you to safely achieve your first solo hover!
