Having found yourself here on a flight website
it is obvious that you must have at the very least an interest in the
hobby of radio control model flying. If you are already a competent
pilot a good portion of this section will not be really of interest
to you; you’ll know all this by now. If however you’re
looking at trying your hand at flying for the first time we have tried
to assemble a small library of information that will be useful to you
in deciding how best to start, and then we hope, progress with this
great hobby.
The links below explain in relatively simple terms what you need to
get started, what type of model to choose, what additional equipment
you may need, whether to power your model with an electric motor, or
use a conventional two-stroke glow engine.
Top of the list the first link guides you through the process of choosing |

your very first model along with some suggestions
as to what models insurance and what models are available to help you
get not only good value for money, but more importantly get the most
fun from this exciting hobby.
The sections whilst by no means exhaustive, we hope contain sufficient
information to guide you. Their main purpose is to inform you and hopefully
help you make the right choices to suit your needs.
There are thousands of books in libraries up and down the country covering
every known theory about flight, both model and full-size, and as with
most things in life someone always has, or knows a different way of
doing things. So bearing that in mind we have chosen to keep the sections
simple and understandable, but most of all we hope informative and
enjoyable. |
