EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews Mark Atkinson29 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Russ is an outstanding instructor—highly knowledgeable, organised, and exceptionally patient. His kindness and passion made him an inspiring role model for my 13-year-old son. Russ's guidance not only made learning enjoyable but also fuelled my son’s enthusiasm for model plane training. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and positive instructor.

Russ made the experience fun and his calm and insightful approach allowed us both to progress surprisingly quickly.

Now I'm retired with a little spare time I thought I would return to a hobby I always had an interest in but just no time to engage with properly. I've joined a local club but thought I would get some assistance from someone with teaching experience. Russ from Model Plane Training Ltd was absolutely brilliant. The session took place at BMFA Buckminster and Russ put me at ease straight away. It was a bit windy but with the buddy box link Russ was able to step in when the wind got the better of me. He explained very clearly what I needed to look for during each of the 4 flights and I felt I was starting to control the plane towards the end of my session. Each flight was punctuated with a useful debrief and useful information and tips about models and model flying. A highlight was watching Russ flying an acrobatic schedule from start to finish with a running commentary. He was also kind enough to check over two of my models. The three hour session just flashed by! If you are new or returning to the hobby I recommend booking some time with Russ.

An excellent day and a steep learning curve but Russ was very patient and a great coach. Very good fun too! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn RC flying! Thank you Russ. I'll be back ✈️😊 Nick Barnett12 July 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well what can I say.........................Russ is about as patient as they come. He took me (a true novice in every sense of the word!) from potential carnage to safe flying. His knowledge is vast and his tuition methodology is perfect, I am greatly looking forward to more tuition with him once I can say my Space Bar days are truly behind me. Thanks Russ, what a great few days. Bernard Archer8 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow!! What a fantastic service Russ offers. Apart from the weather, Russ is extremely flexible when it comes to arranging times to train. His relaxed attitude fills you with confidence right from the start. He gives precise, and structured instructions, and is extremely patient and easy going. There are flying clubs out there that offer free tuition, however, from my experience it was an uphill battle from day one. Eventually just before throwing in the towel I contacted the BMFA in Buckminster who gave me Russ’s contact details, I’ve never looked back. What a brilliant service. Don’t waste anymore valuable time waiting for a slot to train. Russ is the man for the job. Bernard
