  Activity or Maneuver Date Rating  
1 Traffic Patern - At a safe altitude and parallel to the runway, make four distinct 90 degree turns to complete a rectangular pattern ending parallel to the runway. Aircraft should maintain same altitude throughout the maneuver.      
2 Stall Recovery - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway and into the wind, pull power to idle. Hold aircraft at a constant altitude until a stall occurs. Maintain aircraft control through the stall and then add power and proper control input to recover and fly out parallel to the runway with minimal altitude loss.      
3 Slow Flight - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway, and into the wind, pull power to bgetween 1/2 and 1/4 throttle. Fly the traffic pattern with a starting turn away from the pit area.      
4 Procedure Turn - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway and at one end of the traffic pattern, begin with a 90* turn away from the pit area snd then finish the turn with a 270* turn in the opposite direction. Aircraft should maintain same altitude throughout the maneuver.      
5 Figure Eight - At a safe altitude and parallel to the runway, begin the figute eight with a turn away from the pit area. Aircraft should maintain same altitude throughout the maneuver.      
6 Loop - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway, and into the wind, begin an inside loop. Complete the loop using proper surface deflection and throttle control. Loops should appear round, not egg shaped or tight as if full elevator were used.      
7 Roll - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway and down wind, complete an aileron roll. Altitude and direction of flight must be maintained throughout maneuver.      
8 Ground Handling - Taxi to centerline, turn into the wind and taxi to a point near the end of the runway. Turn the aircraft and taxi back down wind to a point that would allow for a safe take off. Objective is to keep the aircraft on the centerline at all times.      
9 Take off - Transition throttle to full, maintain centerline as aircraft gains speed, and smoothly leaves the runway surface. Climb out should be gradual, in a safe direction and at the proper airspeed.      
10 Landing - At a safe altitude, parallel and centered over the runway and into the wind, setup for a traffic pattern to a landing. Land the aircraft on or near the centerline and maintain a straight roll out to a stop.      
11 Touch and goes - At a safe altitude, parallel and centered over the runway and into the wind set up for a proper traffic pattern to a landing. Land the aircraft on or near the centerline and maintain a straight roll out for a short distance, then apply full power and take-off.      
12 Simulated Dead stick approach - At a safe altitude, parallel to the runway, and down wind, bring power to an idle. Student should make a proper and safe approach landing on the runway.

RC instruction will start out simple and as the student's ability progresses, advance into more difficult maneuvers and flight dynamics.
