Learn RC with people who still crash.

We're three RC fans in South Florida. We'll teach you to fly, hover or drive, help you pick a first model that won't end up in a closet, and introduce you to the shops, clubs and fields that make the hobby fun here.

What we can do for you

Lessons at the field

One-on-one, on a real field or track, with your model or ours.

  • Planes start on a buddy box: your transmitter is linked to ours, and we can take over in a heartbeat.
  • Helicopters start with hovering drills, one control at a time.
  • Cars start with throttle control and lines, then setups that suit the surface.

Your first model, chosen right

Tell us your budget and where you'll run it. We'll shortlist, then set it up with you.

  • Ready-to-fly versus bind-and-fly versus kit, explained without the jargon.
  • We check binding, control directions, failsafe and balance before day one.
  • A charger and LiPo routine you'll actually stick to.

Advanced courses

For when the basics are boring and you want the next thing.

  • Aerobatics and precision patterns, then 3D if you dare.
  • Helicopters from hover to forward flight, then inverted.
  • Car setup and tuning: gearing, shocks, tyres and diffs.

Plugged into the scene

We know the shops, clubs and tracks from Palm Beach to the Keys.

  • Introductions to clubs with instructors and insured fields.
  • Which hobby shops stock parts for what, and who repairs what.
  • Fly-ins, races and shows worth driving to.

Rules and permits, sorted

South Florida has a lot of busy airspace. We'll help you fly legally and stay welcome.

  • The FAA's TRUST test and registration, step by step.
  • Remote ID, and where you can fly without it.
  • Which parks allow what, and why clubs are usually the easy answer.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you want to do

    Fly, hover or drive, total beginner or rusty. A few lines is enough.

  2. We plan it with you

    Which model, which field or track, what to bring, and what it costs.

  3. Meet us at the field

    We bring the buddy box, spare props and patience.

Who you'll be flying with

Between the three of us we fly planes, helicopters and cars, and we've broken most of them at least once. We teach the way we wish someone had taught us: slowly, on a simulator first, and with spare props in the truck.
