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. 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.
