Unlike with being a commercial, military or private pilot, a RC model pilot is only “advised” to take flying lessons with a club although it is possible (and legal) to learn to fly by “trial and error” by flying alone (ie. the very expensive option – crash, crash and more crash) although the rules are slightly different for larger models. No licence (to the best of my knowledge) is needed for smaller models.
Model aircraft flights are governed more by geographical location (eg. are you flying in an area where regular RAF low flying exercises take place or within a flight zone regulated by Air Traffic Control?) It is necessary to find this out before flying.
That’s not really true…
At our club we have to get a flying licence, big aircraft or not.
Well, Terry Taylor did have a site for the Titch and the Mono up until earlier this year, but it seems to have vanished. There was a downloadable video of the Monoplane’s construction and first flight – I have the latter saved at home.
Yes, I saw the link somewhere on the web, but it’s vanished like you said. Don’t know why though…
Could you send me the movies of the Taylor Monoplane you have??
thanks GASML :rolleyes: It was very exciting to fly alone for the first time.
Thanks for posting the links GASML
For any advice and questions you can ask me or Phillip Burgess. He’s also a member of the Forums (his username is philburgs). But i don’t have any flying or building experience (yet!!!).
