I'm very pleased to let you know that Doug Radford has agreed to take on the role of Chief Flying Instructor (CFI) for fixed wing aircraft, following our previous CFI,  Dean's, departure to Queensland.

Doug is one of our most experienced, and reliable, pilots, and is a qualified full size aircraft pilot as well as a long-standing RC flyer. His role as CFI is to ensure that fixed wing students at WRCS get suitable instruction and support from one of our many qualified instructors, and to maintain our reputation for quality instruction and flying skills. That doesn't mean that Doug will be personally teaching a lot of people to fly, but it does mean that he'll be interested in everyone's progress and success as they go from student to bronze and gold wings status. 

As a reminder, Col Buckley has agreed to look after new members as they join the club in search of instruction, so Col is the first point of contact for someone with questions, and he will be liaising with Doug on the provision of suitable instruction. Their contact information is on our contact page - see drop down menu at the top of the home page.

On behalf of the club, I'd like to thank Doug for taking on this demanding role.
