BASIC RADIO CONTROL WORKSHOP

Course Information

New to Radio Control (RC) Plane flying? Have you experienced buying a radio control plane from a hobby shop and crashing it on your first flight? Save yourself from this unnecessary frustration. Let us help you!


In this course we will guide participants on how to build and fly your own Radio Control plane. They will learn how to coordinate the ailerons, rudder, and throttle (motor power) of a plane simultaneously. The trainer will introduce the related electronics and how to maintain them. We will also teach you how to repair your plane when it crashes. You save more with us!

ENGINEERING


Participants will be building the plane from scratch, sanding the various parts and assembling them together. They will learn how to maintain electronics and test flight. 

Flight science


Participants of this workshop will learn physics concepts like kinetic energy, four forces of flight, Newton's law of motions, control surface and center of gravity.

STEM ELEMENTS

Glendon is a very good trainer, I learnt a lot from him, especially how to build and repair the plane properly. I am proud to represent my school to do aerial displays. I love flying.
