"The school met or exceeded every expectation. I notice steady improvements each time I fly and this is something I just wasn't experiencing prior to your courses."

Daniel Hammon.
Bountiful, UT

"I learned more after the first two flights at your school than I had in three years at my club."

Neil Reynolds.
Peterboroug, ONT

It was a wonderful week, filled with more accomplishment than I could have imagined. I now have a repertoire to practice and master that will keep my flying days full for many years.

Doug Crowne.
St. Agatha, ONT

What an awesome experience.
I can’t believe how much my flying improved in such a short amount of time.

Kevin Brice.
Milwaukee, WI

Dave helps pilots see the forest through the trees and learn what will take years to come by on your own. Why re-invent the wheel when you can take from his years of instruction, and build on it from there.

Pride Grimm.
High Point, NC

As a result of taking the course, I now fly with a purpose, and when I do something wrong, I now know how to fix it.

Rick Jackson.
Evansville, IN

After your primary solo course my R/C club of 150+ members awarded me "Most Improved Flyer of the Year 2010".

Len Petkun.
Indian Hill, OH

My flying is getting better and better every day. I attribute that directly to the foundation I received from your excellent training.

Ed Petterson.
Export, PA

Dave has almost unlimited patience. His manner and calm reactions to any flying situation is one of the keys to the success of the students. It was well worth the investment and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to fly properly.

Brad Moss.
Cleveland, OH

SIM TIP

Lining Up on the Runway Centerline
Landing difficulties seldom have to do with needing more landing practice, but are usually the result of not exiting the base leg turn lined up with the runway centerline. Thus, before attempting any more landings, you need to identify a ground reference on the horizon that is in-line with the runway centerline and work to exit the final base leg turn over the centerline ground reference. The result will be a less demanding landing approach and therefore an easier-better landing result. Learn More

INSTRUCTOR'S CORNER

"If you ask each of the 2600 clubs about instruction programs, the overwhelming majority would respond by saying, "Sure, we provide help for the newcomer." All too often though, little thought is given to how the instruction is structured. There just seems to be an ultimate goal; learning to fly, but without a road map to get there." Read More

Heli Tip of the Month Go to >>

"To put it short, your program works and it gave me the confidence to fly when I got back home. The 5 days I spent with you represented several summers worth of regular training."

Jeffrey Steinberg.
Chessnut Hill, MA

"I now have the confidence that I am totally in control of my plane. The DAS system just can't be that simple, and yet it is!!!"

Steve Storman.
Harrington Park, NJ

"Thanks to your training, I'm enjoying flying instead of trying to keep up with the plane.

Sam Stimson.
Austin, TX

"Those 4 days rejuvenated my interest and desire to improve. You are an incredible teacher, who mixes the right amount of enthusiasm with an enormous knowledge of flight."

Herb Carpenter.
Plattsburgh, NY

You are not only a great teacher, but a very dedicated professional who knows how to inspire your students to "reach for the sky".

Michal McClure.
Lake Forest, IL

Dave is the top expert at explaining how to fly model airplanes. David's series of books are a must-have for any serious RC pilot.

Chief Editor.
Model Airplane News.

Since the class I have more confidence in my flying abilities and I am more relaxed and enjoy the sport more than ever. My investment in Dave Scott's class was the best thing I have done to improve my flying.

Dean Ehn.
Boulder, CO

I'm much more comfortable flying near the ground which was a real hurdle for me before the school. Your crawl, walk, run teaching approach coupled with your aeronautical knowledge makes the school and instruction the highest quality available.

Perry Tamarra.
Snohomish, WA

The way you have structured your course, from simple to complex, is educationally sound and it works. Your teaching and coaching ability is however, the thing that brings it all together. Your explanations before the flights and during the flights eliminated the usual disorientation and lack of control.

Faye Stilley.
Wilton, CT

Having been a full-scale instructor for over 25 years I can truthfully say your method of RC instruction is superb and effective. I believe your class should be mandatory for anyone wishing to excel.
