Stetson Flight School Program now closed for the 2011 season.

2011 Students note: You may continue to fly with instructors or experienced & competant pilots at any time but you must not fly alone! You should also continue using a buddy box until your instructor is convinced you are ready to solo at which time you may fly without a buddy box in order to get your five (5) solo flights prior to your flight test.

Contact me to schedule your flight test. Goose.

What is the Stetson Flight School?

Stetson Flight School (SFS) is a program designed by experienced club pilots to get you flying radio control aircraft as soon as possible while teaching you all that you need to know for a long and safe flying career..."

What do I need to do? That's a good question.

Join the Stetson Flyers Model Airplane club.
Join the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC).
Read the Students Brief carefully to understand what the SFS is all about and what the school program involves.
Purchase an approximately .40 sized (or larger) trainer aircraft (fuel-powered or electric), complete with radio control and support equipment. Contact your CFI for more information here.
REGISTER by sending the CFI an email via this link... Stetson Flight School Registration 2011 or to cfi@stetsonflyers.com.

Plusieurs de nos instructeurs sont bilingues et offrent la même qualité d'enseignement en français.

We are working hard on the program and the support structure, including getting our instructors aligned to the curriculum.

The first class date is Tuesday May 10, 2011 at 5:30pm and will cover field familiarization, club rules & safety and an opportunity to have your aircraft checked by instructors. All things going well, we will get your plane in the air for a trim flight.

What is the Stetson Ground School?

Stetson Ground School is a one night, all inclusive session where the CFI and several experienced pilots give you the students an extensive but high level overview of everything from aircraft parts and function, to engines and batteries, safety and handling and much much more!

The first class date is Tuesday April 19, 2011 at 7:00pm at the D & S Southern Comfort B.B.Q restaurant in Carlsbad Springs and will give you a great starting point for radio control aircraft flying and for the upcoming season.

What do I need to do to pass my Wings test once I have learnt to fly?
