MIT - 1st RC Flight school collaboration
"I guess the first thing I noticed since taking your class was how much easier it was for me to fly in the simulator. Once flight testing begun for our project here at MIT, I felt a lot more confident in my ability to succeed.
I remember taking the sticks for what would be our very first flight test. The thing took off from the launcher like a rocket. I tried leveling out to a more desirable angle of attack and then I started losing throttle intermittently. In a moment of clarity, I remembered to “let go” of the sticks to figure out what the plane was doing.

In a moment of clarity, I remembered to “let go” of the sticks to figure out what the plane was doing.
I recovered from a downward spiral, leveled it out and landed it in one piece. The entire flight was 30 seconds. But in that time, I went through everything I had learned. In that moment, your training and all expenses had paid for themselves. Once we got the throttle issue figured out, the next flight was a piece of cake. We’ve done a lot of successful flights since.
I just wanted to say that besides being an absolute pleasure, taking your class has given me a wealth of knowledge and confidence in my ability to help these programs succeed and to accomplish my job. I hear your voice and your calm demeanor every time I grab the box and it has honestly saved me from disaster more than a handful of times.
It’s a real pleasure to have my project mates say “great flying!” or “perfect landing!” and I know it’s all due to you. So thank you for your patience, and dedication to me and my needs. That week was an experience I’ll not stop talking about for a long time."

Record setting week!
1st RC Flight School recently traveled to sunny California to coach 4 precision aerobatic pilots preparing for the upcoming Pattern contest season. The talented group of pilots flew an incredible 160 training flights over the span of just 5 days! Ranging in age from 62 to 75, they achieved near flying perfection and are an inspiration to us all. I pity their competition. Dave Scott, Instructor
"Hi Dave, I really appreciate your help and coaching! Bill and I both passed our biggest competitor by a significant amount. I am STOKED!! Thank You again."
