Recommended RC Training Schools
USA - West
Coast
Without
a doubt there is one school that should be at the top of your
list if you want advanced helicopter training. That's freestlye
3d, the school run by Todd Bennett. His web site is at
http://www.freestyle3d.com. Every word I've read about his
training, has been positive praise. Using 9Z's for instructor
and student, he can take advantage of the mix control function
to make the learning curve more seamless, as he can correct without
taking control off the student. Definately the best way to go
- but too expensive for most schools to offer the same. They also
offer specialist courses for film work helicopter usage. Trains
from two locations, although they do offer to visit trainees site
at additional cost.
USA - Florida
Ernie Huber's RC Flight Training Center, this 5 day residential
course covers beginners and advanced pilots and sounds to be as
much a holiday as a flying lesson. Visit http://www.rchelicopter.com
for more information. They only train from the main location,
which is no bad thing, as it includes extensive model room and
class room facilities.
UK - South
Coast
The Helicopter Flight School, operates part time, using established
pilots with many years experience to teach a range of courses
from complete beginners to extreme 3d, this school is a mixture
of the techniques used by the above mentioned schools to suit
the differences in the UK - mainly the weather and the greater
abundance of 30 size helicopters. Visit http://www.rc-training.com
to find out more details. They offer 30 size machines with the
intention to add up 60/90 size at a later date. All from an exclusive
field (50 acre I beleive), although they can teach at trainees
own local club site through out the UK.
