If you want to all but be guaranteed to learn to fly VERY skillfully within 2 or 3 days; in that time be guaranteed to fly a low wing advanced plane and even a bipe, come to Olcott, NY. We will even throw in a RC heli lesson even if you're not interested in helis! But if someone is offering training by the lesson/hour(s) per day for free, you should take him up on it.

We can teach you to takeoff and land on your own - on your very first lesson, without even breaking a prop. But I'm sure there are other schools which can guarantee the same service.

There is a school in Brasstown, North Carolina. Telephone: (828)
389-8968.

See: http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...101#post988043

Learn aerobactics too, more than likely, it will only take one or two hours/lesson (same day)

Martin,

I belong to a great club with an abundance of members who are more than willing to buddy cord with those new to the sport.

My problems are:
Making a schedule work that includes all the obvious variables:
my schedlue (I operate a business alone and work late, open on weekends), the instructor's schedule, the weather, etc.
Different Instructors with different philosophies for training.
To much time between sessions, feel like I'm starting over with each trip to the field.

My goal is to close the office for 3 or 4 days, pray for good weather, maximize training time and hopefully come home ready to solo and work toward the next skill level. Then I only have to worry about my schedule and the weather.

Does your club have a retired guy who already trains people?

He might be willing to accomodate your 3 or 4 days of intensive training for coffee and lunches. :D
