The trainer's above will be able to teach basic flight instruction on a buddy lead system. Your transmitter will need to be the same make as the trainers transmitter, so that they can communicate with each other via a cable. A more comprehensive list of the make of equipment these club officials use will be available soon.

Information for newcomers:
Radio control systems usually have the transmitter set up in mode 2 when delivered i.e. throttle on the left, as this does not suit everyone, we cater for both left throttle and right throttle pilots. The choice is up to the learner pilot and what is comfortable to them when flying.
Note: With some transmitters it is easy to change modes, but others need to be altered by the manufacturers or a service shop, If you are buying equipment that is not the correct mode for you, check before buying that it can easily be altered.
