It's never too late to have a happy childhood!
Club members will be able to use RC simulators at the Kinsley Engineering Center at YCP. Hundreds of different models ranging from Piper Cubs to Spitfires to F-15s to helicopters to gliders are available on the simulators. In addition, members will be able to fly the most popular trainer at the Stoverstown Flyers' field, about a 20 minute drive from campus. The trainer is capable of being "buddy-boxed" in which an instructor can instantly take control to prevent the model from crashing.
Decades ago many of you salivated at the displays in the toy stores, and put RC flying onto the "get around to it" list. Now is the time to get around to it. You will learn about aerodynamics, crosswind operations, and best of all, if/when you crash you will walk away and laugh about it.
Have questions? Stop by the West Campus Community Center lobby for an informal chat with me! I’ll be available during the following times to answer your questions in person.
Thursday, November 5: 8:30–11:00 a.m. and 12:30–1:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 11: 10:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
No appointment needed—stop by anytime during these hours. I look forward to connecting with you!
You can also call me any evening with questions or interest in the Club, preferably when you can look at a computer screen at the same time.
