    The aim of the course is for each participant to construct one or two model aeroplanes, then be taught to fly them by members of the Impington Village College Model Aircraft Club. The tutors will help participants to construct their model aeroplane and install its electric motor and radio control. The tutors will recommend a suitable model and equipment. Participants will bring their model and basic tools to the sessions and construct it with the help of the tutors. Members of the IVCMAC will teach flying at Impington or Girton. The first model will be a simple foamie which will take 3-4 sessions to make. If participants wish to make a further model the tutors will advise and help them. Potential applicants should contact the course organiser in advance to discuss details. Potential flyers may attend sessions of the club in Impington between June and September.
