Learn to Fly

If you would like to learn how to fly, LEAF has AMA certified instructors that can teach you.  Currently second Saturdays each month from 9-1pm, May through September LEAF sponsors an Introductory Learn to Fly event. Anyone wanting to learn what RC flying is like can come to the field and a LEAF instructor will take you for a hands on flight.  You will be given the opportunity to fly one of the club’s training planes under the supervision of an instructor and also learn more about this exciting hobby.   To sign up to fly contact: instructor@leafrc.com, or just come to the field during a training event, check the calendar.

Know before you fly

Know Before You Fly is an education campaign founded by the Association for UnmannedVehicleSystems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), and the Small UAV Coalition in partnership with theFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) to educate prospective users about the safe and responsible operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

As excitement and enthusiasm continues to grow around UAS, and the regulatory frame work continues to take shape, more consumers are looking to buy UAS for personal use and more businesses are looking to use UAS too. These prospective operators want to fly, and fly safely, but many don’t realize that just because you can buy a UAS, doesn’t mean you can fly it anywhere, or for any purpose. Know Before You Fly provides prospective users with the information and guidance they need to fly safely and responsibly.  Learn more about this, click here.
