Radio-controlled model making

Craft rooms are dedicated to all the stages of the construction of your glider, and they are equipped with all the necessary adjusting device. You will go back home with your own hand-made glider and its radio-control. The tutor will advise and guide you continuously all along the making of the model. The fields surrounding the property will enable everybody to fly safely.

Second year : it is possible to come back again to perform and build a different model :an electric bi-motor aircraft. Teenagers will just need to come back with the previous radio, all other materials are provided by the centre (engines, battery, propeller and contactor).
