Flight School Getting Started
If you are considering taking up our hobby (or coming back to it after a time away), the Stetson Flyers Flight School can enable you to earn your Stetson Wings, allowing you to fly independently at our field. We have experienced instructors who can help you acquire the skills and knowledge needed to fly radio-controlled model aircraft safely and enjoyably.

2022 Last Night of Flight School Event Report
Event Date
The final session of Flight School for this year enjoyed favorable weather, despite a fairly gloomy forecast. It was attended by five students flying a mix of Apprentice, Mini Apprentice and AeroScout trainers. No models were hurt during this event!
In the accompanying pictures you can see the instructors hard at work scrutinizing models before flight, showing a student which switch not to press, demonstrating how to make a turn, and just standing around after a successful flight. Len is guarding the Flight School’s collection of equipment. One picture shows 12-year-old Kailen, a very promising pilot.
Flight School will return in 2023 with ground school sessions followed by a resumption of flight training as soon as the field dries out after the spring runoff.
Thanks to all who contributed to making Flight School 2022 a success.
President Daniel Marcotte
