That's amazing Oscar! How did you get the Google Maps Car to stay on top of your plane?
Bill, Travis and Mike (Ryerson Crew -
@Frank v B 's boys) obtained solo privileges. Flying solo is a major milestone on the way to earning your MAAC wings. After demonstrating care, control and responsibility when operating a model aircraft, a student RC Pilot may be asked by an instructor to fly solo, without buddy-box instruction and verbal direction (i.e. the Instructor will observe and supervise from a distance.) The Chief Flight Instructor (or their designate) shall approve permission to fly solo. Once a student has been approved to fly solo, they may fly their training model at any time when an Instructor is present at the field. Solo flights by student RC pilots must follow the MAAC Safety Code and TEMAC Rules.
Continue to fly safe guys and continue to work towards obtaining your wings.
There were a number of other students demonstrating advancements last night as well. For example, with Vic's tutelage, Ethane's progress has really stepped up a notch.
Oh yeh,
@Oscar in the capacity of a new Flight Instructor ran into the infamous glitches while flying with Devon, as his first student. When the glitches struck, I understand the conversation went something like this:
"Have you got it? NO, I don't have it, have you got it? #@%& " (Isn't it fun being a flight instructor now - made your night didn't it Oscar?)
Thanks again to our regular Ground Crew and Flight Instructors for your assistance. The students and I are appreciative of all your assistance.
Looking forward to next week...
