During this course, the students were put through 3 theory lesson where students are being taught how an aircraft fly, basic of how an RC aircraft works which will prove useful during the actual and simulator flights.
Hands on lessons were also being conducted where students get to see what goes in the aircraft and how the aircraft will respond using the transmitter on both the actual aircraft and on the simulators. During the simulator training, students practice their basic handling and have a feel of what they will be expecting during the actual flight. Although it was a little boring after awhile, student got a real kick out of flying some more advance models and laughing over how they crashed it!
When it was time for the actual flight, nervous students were put to fly. There was many near misses but with the help of the instructors, the aircraft was able to recover in time. After a few flying lessons, learning and laughing over each other mistakes, student got the hang of flying and some of them could even start to do stunts!! (Scaring our instructors at times)
From the team at W.T.F, we wish the class of 2011 all the best!!
Practice more and you will all be fine pilots one day!
