Default How Long Does It Take To Learn RC Flying?

You are going to get a lot of answers to that question I am sure. The amount of time it takes depends a lot on the person, the instructor and how much time you devote to it. IF you are already familiar with R/C cars etc.. then you probably have the left/right turning down.

I soloed in less than a week. Plane problems kept me from soloing on the same day. Less than 5 flights. Another guy at the field was still learning 4 months later. That should give you a good idea of the diferent time frames..

If you are at all familiar with flying in general, ie flight sims etc. It shouldn't take long. Try to get as much info as you can to begin with.
