Trial Flights

Welcome to Brighton Radio Flying Club where we are nestled on the edge of the picturesque South Downs. 

You are now ready to arrange your ‘come try it’ flight where you will be given a flight with a radio-controlled plane and can experience the fun of flying for yourself. 

On the day you will be met at our secure car park by the club trainer who will take you up to the flying area and give you some safety information before explaining the controls.

The flight will be on a buddy box system, which allows the trial flight to be conducted by the trainee using a normal radio control transmitter and enables the instructor to take back control at any moment, so the flight is totally safe, with the instructor standing next to you to guide you through your flight.

 After your exciting first flight the instructor will let you know more about the club, what you need to do to start flying and how to join our club.
