RC Simulator Program

Our RC Sim (YE Build & Fly) program has been modified due to Covid19 and has started by appointment on a limited basis. One youth (12-17) with a parent/guardian in attendance, will receive instruction on a computer simulation of the actual remote-controlled airplane to be flown. Then the student will experience flying the remote-controlled plane while instructor, Al Gross, coaches the student according to their ability and comfort level.

On November 6, our first student, Max, spent time with Al and this is what Al said about their experience. “I don’t know how this session could have gone better! The weather was the best. Max, with his mother, Stacy, his father, Mike, older brother and the well behaved family dog met at Fairchild Airport. The RC sim session went well and then Max flew nicely. I have never mentored/instructed a better student. While we were there, several club members flew various aircraft while other full size aircraft transited KCLM runways for a perfect atmosphere.”

A second student, Genna, said (according to her mother) as she was getting in the car after her session, “That was awesome, I want to do more!”
