Rc Plane Hub Flight Academy

Master the art of RC aviation step-by-step.

Level 1

Ground Control & Pre-Flight Verification

15 Mins

Essential safety routines, battery voltage checks, CG balancing, and radio range testing.

Transmitter power sequence (Radio ON first, then connect battery)

Control surface direction check (Aileron, Elevator, Rudder)

Finding center of gravity at 65mm from wing leading edge

Assessing wind speed (< 12 mph recommended for first flights)

Level 2

20 Mins

Hand-launch vs ground takeoff, smooth throttle ramp up, and setting flight trims.

Hand launching directly into the wind at 75% throttle

Smooth climb out at 15-degree pitch angle

Trimming elevator for level cruise at 50% throttle

Understanding airspeed vs stall threshold

Level 3

25 Mins

Flying the 'Figure 8' pattern, handling head-on orientation, and altitude control.

Gentle coordinated turns with rudder and aileron

Maintaining constant 100 ft altitude during banking turns

Overcoming reverse control instinct when flying towards yourself

Utilizing the 1-Click Panic Switch when disoriented

Level 4

30 Mins

Setting up the final landing pattern, throttling down, flare mechanics, and grass rollouts.

Downwind, base, and final approach legs

Throttling back to 25% for a steady glide slope

Gentle elevator flare 1 foot above runway surface

Crosswind landing compensation techniques
