HOTMAC INSTRUCTORS

1. Contact one of the Instructors above and schedule an Introductory Flight. You will get some Hands-on experience and you can decide if RC pilot training is something you want to pursue. They will guide you through the training program.

2. Purchase a Realflight simulator. Practice time on the simulator emulates the RC experience and will teach you the proper transmitter stick movements. It will shorten the time needed on the buddy-box.  Here is a link to the RealFlight simulator RealFlight and the latest version is available at the local HOBBY TOWN or from online vendors. Practice flying the simulator to learn transmitter stick control.

3. Join HOTMAC and the AMA at the appropriate levels.

4. Purchase an appropriate trainer aircraft. The aircraft below are great first airplanes and are capable of basic aerobatics to hone your skills as you progress. These airplanes are available at your local HOBBY TOWN or through online vendors. Other aircraft are suitable for your first trainer but we recommend consulting with an experienced RC instructor.
