Students,
You should not be flying your dragonflies until you have received the proper training.  This consists of: Spending time practising on the simulator and training with a real pilot on a trainer plane.  

Trainers will be available Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8am (I know its early, but this is the only time that Johnson is free).  If you want to train on either of these days, you must email me, and I will contact the training pilots.  By telling me you want to train on a day, you are committing to be there (the training pilots are volunteering their time, so be nice to them).  You can fly on your own once the training pilots have cleared you to do so.  The reasons for these precautions is the general lack of spare parts, and if you crash your Dragonfly, you might not be able to fix it.

Once you have built your dragonfly, please have Col Young check it over before taking it flying to make sure that everything is working properly.

Good luck flying,
-Howie
