I am looking to get into flying remote control airplanes. How do I get started?

Hobbico - Product Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I just installed a Hobbico Power Panel. The jack for the starter says, "start/external charger." Can I charge the battery in the flight box through these jacks? It sure would be nice not to have to remove the battery when I need a charger.

Is flying small airplanes safe?

Will Outlaw - CFI: Frequently Asked Questions
Tough question. It depends a bit on what you consider safe, but I prefer to think of safety in terms of risk. Certainly, flying small airplanes carries a higher degree of risk than flying the airlines, staying in bed or driving a car. That being said, understanding the risks involved and actively working to mitigate those risks can make flying small airplanes very “safe” indeed.

Clifford (United Kingdom) - FAQ
Simply call in to your local Dealer and they can either supply a new remote control from stock, or order one on your behalf.

In some places you park, you may be near to a Radio or Cellular Transmitter that is on the same operating frequency as that at which your car alarm remote controls transmit.

What should I be looking for in a Flying School?

Frequently Asked Questions - Courses - Bonus Aviation Limite...
We always suggest that you 'short-list' maybe two or three schools and take a trial lesson with each of them. You'll get a very good idea as to the standard of training even from this short flight. It will also give you an opportunity to meet the staff and other students and to have a look at the facilities and aircraft. There are numerous flying schools and clubs at Cranfield and it's worth picking a larger school, medium sized school and a club to see what you think.

Why would anyone want to fly these marginal machines when they could be flying real airplanes?

The Eureka FAQ Page
First they are not marginal. Ultralights are designed to have the same structural strength as regular normal category aircraft. A major reason people fly them is the lower cost. In spite of what critics might say by comparing the cost of an old worn out conventional aircraft with a new ultralight, the average cost of owning and flying an ultralight is much less than conventional aircraft. Also, some people can never fly real airplanes because they can't pass the medical requirements.

Can I use Dragonflies to control mosquitos or other flying pests?

British Dragonfly Society
Dragonflies certainly do eat large numbers of flying pest species, but using them to control these pests is not really feasible. There have been a number of studies carried out and only in very restricted and tightly controlled environments have Dragonflies, or their larvae, been shown to be able to control pest numbers. In the open, there is no reason to suppose that Dragonflies introduced to a pest rich habitat will stay there.
