Flight Lessons “101”
The same Physics that allow a real airplane to fly is the same for their smaller model airplane brother. A degree in aeronautical engineering or a real pilot license is not required. Trying to teach yourself to fly model airplanes is possible. Unlike the real airplane, you can walk away from your mistakes. Your losses can be costly in money and time along with the frustration of unsuccessful flights.
That is why through the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Introductory Pilot Program. We can teach you the basics of flight with a Club Instructor and plane.
You have 90 days to learn to fly after the first flight at no additional cost.
We will provide everything the only thing missing is you!!

Freebie Flight
Have you ever seen a radio control airplane flying in the air and said to yourself “that looks like fun.” Then you start thinking, how do I get started, what do I need, where do I go.
Well Tehachapi Crosswinds has a deal for you!!!
Tehachapi Crosswinds is offering you an opportunity of a lifetime to try your hand at flying an RC airplane, with absolutely no cost to you and we call it the “FREEBIE FLIGHT”.
The Freebie Flight will take during the summer months (June, July, and August) on the second and fourth Saturday of the month from 9:00 am til noon, weather and wind permitting. We will let you experience what it feels like to fly a radio control airplane. We will use our equipment including the plane. You will fly on a “Buddy Box” which allows you to control the aircraft in the air, and if control is lost, the instructor will take over, get it level and turn control back over to you.
It`s a great hobby that can be shared with the whole family.
After your FREEBIE FLIGHT if you decide this fun hobby is for you, student flight instructions can continue. If you have any questions email us at info@tehachapi-crosswinds.com
