Learning to Fly - the beginner's guide

Introduction

Over a series of articles I'm going to attempt to write information designed to help those people who want to try and teach themselves how to fly RC.

If a term in here confuses you then see whether I have it listed in the glossary.

The Course

The Christmas Morning 30 Minute Special Learning to Fly "Course" - 30 minutes worth of extra stuff that might, just might, stop your first flight from being a disaster. Not really part of the course.

Part 1 - Before your first plane
Part 2 - Before your first flight
Part 3 - Planning Your First Flight
Part 4 - Your First Flight
Part 5 - Your Next Few Flights
Part 6 - Starting to Get the Hang of This
Part 7 - Getting Down to Business
Part 8 - Now you are really flying!
Part 9 - The Possiblity of Flight.
Part 10 - Silver Wings

When you are finished the course head over to tip and tricks for more useful stuff.

This isn't really a course like the last one, just my notes of stuff I've found useful as I've learnt to fly my RC Heli.

Start by looking at and doing the course at Radd's School of Rotary Flight.
