Radio Controlled Model Airplane Courses

These radio-controlled model airplane courses are unique. There is nothing like it in the market today.

The instructor is an ex-Israeli Air force instructor and pilot. He has at least 6 years of experience instructing children and adults in radio-controlled airplanes.

All classes and requirements are held at the highest level of quality and professionalism. The courses, flight, design and construction are performed by a professional with 20 years of experience.

These courses are recommended for children of the ages of 11 and up.

I will be happy to give a free presentation with you and your associates of flying the radio controlled airplane, and demonstrate the levels of classes, flight, experience and fun.

Basic Syllabus for Aviation / Model Airplane Course

The students will experience hands on technique learning the properties, structure and details of airplanes, as well as learn the complexities of aerodynamics.

They will transition through a hierarchy of model airplanes, each requiring progressive skill levels, starting with simple hand gliders, and moving to rubber engine planes, control line planes, until they finally reach the remote controlled model.

The students will learn to build and design remote controlled airplanes, and in doing so will be introduced to complex materials such as carbon fiber, balsa wood, and others.

They will be growing in many ways by experiencing discipline, concentration, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving techniques, and scientific and mathematical skills, all of which they will encounter while enjoying themselves. Additionally, the skills they will gain will enhance their self-esteem, and open their minds to more complex thinking.

The ability to recognize different types of airplanes will be developed. The children will begin to understand the difference between the jet, prop, plane and glider, as well as understand why they are different and the different uses for them. Aviation films and movies will be included to supplement the children’s knowledge for recognition of different types of airplanes.

First time recognition and understanding of gasoline engine will also be developed as well as the combination of electronics with Radio Controlled planes.

Trips to the airfield should also be coordinated to allow the students actual flying time. To supplement actual flying time, a flight simulator will also be used in conjunction with a projector screen.

The overall course and program will function with a few levels of skill.
1. Beginner
2. Advanced
3. Master

Breakdown of Course

Introduction
The students will get their first view and experience of a model airplane. Overall introduction, with questions and answers to get the minds thinking.

History of Flight
The program also includes the history of flight from the first design of the airplane by Leonardo da Vinci, to the Wright Brothers, to the modern airplanes that have been developed today by companies such as NASA.

Fundamentals
Overview of the parts of an airplane and their functions.

Primary Building Technique / Model Airplane Design Techniques
1. Wood
2. Importance of the structure and attention to detail.
3. The importance of quality craftsmanship

Primary Flying Technique
1. The airplane and the air around it.

In Classroom Flight Simulation
Use of fight simulator and projector to give the students a beginning understanding of the hand-eye coordination.

Flight
1. Take to the sky

Optional Additional Course Features

NASA - Option to coordinate with NASA Kids, to incorporate knowledge with space technology. Plus optional tour in one of NASA’s resorts.

RADIO DAYS – This would be short trips (1/2 or full day) to the Airfield to fly the radio controlled airplanes.

SUMMER RC CAMP – Kids will camp for a week and learn the basics of Aerodynamics and radio controlled flight.

ADULT NIGHT CLASSES – Classes can also be held for adults in the more advanced level course, for example – an evening class that will involve radio control airplanes and free flight gliders.

FATHER & SON COURSE – In addition, evening courses can be held that will combine family together.
