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.

What an awesome experience.

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.

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

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

Ed Petterson.

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.

Your observations, consistency, patience, and abundant positive energy to instill progress are inspirational and will serve this student well for years to come.

Lining up with the Runway
It has long been said that the key to a good landing is a good approach to the runway, i.e., one that requires few corrections. Actually, landing is not that hard when the pilot can get the airplane to the runway without having to make a lot of corrections. Learn more

Stationary Hover Training
As the saying goes, some of the most rewarding activities are also often the most challenging, and learning to fly helicopters certainly fits into that category. Indeed, merely hovering a helicopter has been compared to trying to balance a marble on top of a bowling ball. Therefore, those who become successful heli pilots really have something to be proud of.

"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."

"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.

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.

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.

Romeo Bachand.
Mundelein, IL

I can honestly say that I have never been more satisfied with any investment of my time, energy and money than I am with the training provided by your school.

Bob Kohler.
Cedarburg, WI

Your instruction technique is terrific. Your patience is beyond belief. I would not hesitate one moment to recommend your training course. It took me 30 years to get to your school and you had me flying solo in three days. Thank you again & again & again!!!!!!!!

Jim Heinz.
Polo, IL

Of all the education courses I have taken over my life, yours was the very best. I cannot remember having a more organized and influential instructor.
