WimborneMAC's
legendary Training Scheme is back!
The Training Scheme
We are able to offer training facilities which are given by volunteer
instructors, subject to their availability.
Under the control of the Training Coordinator, members with
little or no experience can learn to fly on the Club's own aircraft
and buddy-box radio control equipment until such time as they
are able to pass the necessary proficiency test with their own
model to allow them to fly unsupervised.
Uncling
Members are also permitted to fly with their
own aircraft whilst they still hold a provisional (RED)
membership card, provided they have an ‘Uncle’ (a
fully qualified pilot) at their side when flying.

A basic example of what's needed when buying your own training
aircraft.....
What you need to get up and started:
A .40 sized trainer Aircraft: 
A 40/46 sized 2 stroke engine: 
A minimum of a 4channel radio transmitter 
A minimum of a 4ch receiver 
4 standard servos 
Extension/Ylead 
Propeller 
There is also ancillary equipment that would be needed : Fuel,
glowstart, fuel pump, glow plug, on/off switch.
If a radio 'set' is purchased, then a charger, transmitter, receiver,
servos and nicad will be included.
A good model
shop will be able to guide you as to all the neccessary equipment
you will need to get ready to fly.
Another piece of equipment to help learn to fly and pass your solo
test sooner, is an RC Flight Simulator. There are many out there,
but many in our club have had great success and find the Aerofly
pro deluxe simulator to be a great representation of real life conditions.
It's no replacement for actual stick time, but it does help with
those vital skills.
