Whats the best/easiest way to learn how to fly an R/C plane or heli?
It really depends on your personal preference. Since each pilot learns at his or her own pace, there are many options available. If you have friends or family members who fly, ask them for guidance and advice. Youll gain more confidence and experience this way than if you start out flying solo. Another option is to find a local instructor or flying club. New and experienced pilots alike find the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Web site (www.modelaircraft.org) to be a valuable resource for finding nearby instructors and clubs. You can also check the Yellow Pages, type local R/C flight instructors in your favorite search engine or try contacting model flyers through social networking Web sites. You can also practice by purchasing an R/C flight simulator, such as RealFlight, or models that include a plane and a flight simulator, like the NexSTAR Select .46 RTF from Hobbico! Tower Hobbies also has many informative DVDs and Books to help get you started.
