We have training aeroplanes on hand which are controlled using the "buddylead" system,
This system allows the instructor to hold a separate transmitter and is able to take control of the aero plane if the pilot is having difficulties, or if the safety of the public or the aircraft is at risk.
Please feel free to visit us and have a go.
Detailed directions may be found on the Contact Page.

"Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is
when you're forced to."
Congratulations to Martyn Couper, who, earlier in the year passed his club Solo test which enables him to fly solo within the club. Pictured below is Martyn (Holding the plane) alongside Graham (Mad Max) Logan. Also pictured below, is Sandy (Alex) Ward, who helped to train Martyn.
This is what happens when the wings fold on a nova trainer. Never mind Scott, time to dig out the spade, be careful where you tread though, that doesn't look like lumps of mud!!!
On a more cheerful topic, check out the fantastic, onboard camera footage that was taken by Jim Phanco.
Jim Attached a Flycam2 onto his Ripmax Expression, powered by a Jen57.
Well its been an eventful few weeks, The pathways are all but complete, and looking great, thanks goes out to everyone who helped.
There has also been quite a bit of flying over the past few weekends and a small mishap! I managed to crash my newly built Midnight funfly plane, nose first into the dirt! That's what you get when you try to prop hang a new plane 20 feet above the ground, and don't have enough experience,,, well it seemed easy enough on the simulator!!
Jim phanco and his son Scott had a great time with their "zagi" glider.
Sandy also brought along his new Cobra funfly model, although it has yet to fly it is a stunning looking model!
Wow! you must see these video clips of a Robin Reliant full size car turned into a space shuttle!
These nutters fitted wings onto the reliant, to turn it into a glider, then strapped it onto a huge fuel tank, then attached 2 solid rocket boosters to emulate the space shuttle!
If you are over 8 years old, you will want to watch it over again!
There is also footage from Avon Model Aircraft club.
