Golden Opportunity!
« on: August 16, 2012, 05:26:01 PM »
Thanks to facebook, I have gotten in contact with a few people attending Embry-Riddle that fly RC.  I told them about Control-line and some have heard of it, some haven't.  This might be a golden opportunity to get some new people interested in flying CL.  As of right now, I won't have a plane to fly at Embry until the 2nd semester. I thought it would be a cool idea if I could obtain some trainers and teach those who have said they would like to learn how to fly.  I leave in 4 days now, and I can't wait!!!

BTW, While  I'm thinking of it, what would you guys recommend for shipping a plane elsewhere in the country besides driving it there, lol?

Hi Matt,

Take a look at Greyhound Bus.  For a full size model, they might be the cheapest way.  They are as safe as anyone in shipping.

Go, Greyhounds! Right, Scarborough?  LL~ Steve

PS: Matt, I've extolled the virtues of shipping full sized stunters by Greydog many times on here. It is affordable, it works, and $1k insurance was $10.

I have the weekends  ;D And my class schedule is fairly light compared to other schedules I've seen.  I go flying full size planes Monday Wednesday and Friday in the morning, and then one class later in the afternoon.  Tuesdays and Thursdays I have 4 classes. I think there will be some time available for sure!!!!

Sounds like Greyhound is the way to go
