Learn to Fly

Learning to fly is something every flyer has had to do. Everyone starts out not knowing how to fly a model airplane. There are simulators that help and wise advice from guys (or gals) who have learned, but there is only one sure way to really learn and that is to Do It! That is why the Rogue Eagles and other R/C clubs have AMA designated instructors willing to donate their time to help new flyers get into the air without very much DRAMA.

We have several instructors available:

♦ Rick Lindsey ricklindsey@charter.net 541-776-5832

♦ Ben Musolf flight431@msn.com 541-608-7240

♦ Richard Schwegerl bbschweg@aol.com 541-773-5479

All instructors are experienced and are very willing to help.

The procedure usually goes something like this...

Contact one of the instructors.
Set a date.
Meet the instructor at the airfield.
Fill out a form to get temporary free insurance.
Meet the airplane.
Go 'up' on a "buddy box" system and fly around (with the instructor ready to save a mishap).
The instructor lands the plane and the student tries to stop grinning!
Repeat F & G

Instruction is free but the donation of a Diet Pepsi is appreciated!
