Learn to Fly Model Aeroplanes

Flying model aeroplanes has become a very popular pastime over the last two decades, with hobbyists and enthusiasts worldwide discovering the joy of flying small-scale model planes using a radio-controlled handset, which launches the planes skyward by emitting short and long wave pulses.

In fact, they have been around for at least a century. They first appeared in the late 19th century, mainly in light entertainment settings like music hall theatres. As both World Wars passed, they were also used by, for example, the US Army and Navy, who utilised them in World War II as artillery target drones.

While drone flying has undoubtedly advanced rapidly in recent years, powered by sophisticated mobile devices and GPS technology, in many ways, Model Aeroplane Flying retains a playful essence, largely because the technology that gets the planes airborne has remained relatively unchanged from then to now, contributing to its enduring appeal.

Model Aeroplane Flight Training and Lessons

Currently, there are two courses available for booking, suitable for yourself or the model flyer in your life, both tailored to different skill levels. Novices to model aeroplane flying will benefit greatly from the Basic Flight Training session, which focuses on beginning the training needed to obtain your 'A' test, certifying you as safe to fly at model clubs and schools.

For those who are experienced model aeroplane fliers, the Advanced Flight Training allows you to expand your existing knowledge and expertise further, as you endeavour to execute some impressive aerobatic manoeuvres!

Where to Fly Model Aeroplanes in the UK

Both the Basic Flight Training and Advanced Flight Training programmes are currently hosted at the BMFA (British Model Flying Association), based in the village of Buckminster in Leicestershire.

Their headquarters is nestled within 40 acres of open East Midlands countryside, offering stunning vistas and panoramic views that provide the perfect backdrop to earn your model wings. There is also a busy calendar on-site with many exciting events, including competitions, swap meets, and fly-ins, as well as an RC model museum and the Flyer's Café.

Looking for a model aeroplane flying club nearer to your location in the UK? An excellent resource we recommend is flyingsites.co.uk. You can search their comprehensive directory of radio-controlled model plane clubs across the UK, filtering results by your county, country, location, or by club name.

One thing we advise is to make sure you contact the club before visiting; speak to local fliers, find out what ground rules and regulations need to be followed, and generally ensure you have permission to visit and fly your plane safely.
