Private Lessons near Croydon/Caterham wanted...

[johnhardy36]

Hi,

I am a newbie with an Interceptor 400, I was wondering if there is anyone out there in the Croydon/Caterham/Purley area who would want to try and teach me the basics?
Others do offer this service but way way up north, to far to travel for the odd lesson! Wondered if there is anyone closer to home...

thanks

Shame I don't live in wallington anymore otherwise I would have been happy to help. I think the closest club to you fly on the old Croydon airport http://www.camfc.co.uk

Although that pic of the old duffer on the homepage is enough to put anyone off lol

Also worth taking a look at the teach-yourself series on YouTube : How To Fly RC Helicopters

Hey.

I am based in Northamptonshire, Rushden (NN10) to be more precise. Reasonably easy to get to from the M1.

Great, thanks for the replies. I know there is a club very close in Redhill but they have a 18month wait which does not help newbies into the sport. So I guess I need to try going alone. Any others in the south London area would be very helpful.

That club in Redhill is a friendly bunch from what I've seen. I'm sure someone would help you out. I fly near Slougham of the A23, if thats not too far for you to travel, I will help you out.

Croydon airport site is close to you, there's a bunch of heli fliers down there most Sundays that are quite helpful..
