Flight
Instruction: Will be from April 1 to October 1 only on Wednesdays.
Make ups for rain outs will be on the following Sunday, 4:30 until dark.
Students should arrive and setup at 4:30 PM with the
instructors arrival at 5:00 PM. No test after the end of the
instruction period unless arrangements have been made and approved by
the head instructor. Classes for Acrobatic and 3D flying will be made
available, schedules to be announced at a later date. An instruction
handbook will be created to support a consistent, successful flight
instruction. This handbook will be created by a committee with input
and approval from the head instructor. Senior and Junior instructors
are needed for 2007. Last year’s training program was very successful
and we are hoping to continue to improve member’s flying skills.
