Intro to Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems &<br />
Recreational Drones<br />
Are you thinking about buying a drone? Do you have a toy<br />
drone and want to upgrade to something bigger and better?<br />
What is a drone anyway? What can you do with one? This<br />
course will answer these questions and more. Designed for<br />
hobby drone enthusiasts of all skill levels, this six-session<br />
course provides the general knowledge to fly small Unmanned<br />
Aircraft Systems (sUAS), otherwise known as drones. Learn<br />
about the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations<br />
for safely operating drones for either hobby or commercial use.<br />
In addition, you will learn about the history and application<br />
of drones, basics of flight, radios and electronics, aerial<br />
photography, first person view (FPV) and helpful smartphone<br />
apps. There will also be drone flight demonstrations. While this<br />
course is not intended as preparation for the FAA’s Remote<br />
Pilot Certification test for commercial drone pilots, it will cover<br />
many of the basics required for the Certification. Youth 15+ may<br />
register.<br />

class with a working knowledge of<br />
the FAA rules that apply to model<br />
aircraft and drones,” says Neal. “I also want<br />
them to have a greater appreciation and understanding of<br />
how airplanes and drones fly–and how to use them safely<br />
for everyone’s enjoyment.” Join Neal for Intro to Small<br />

and make handmade chain links, hook clasp and a toggle clasp<br />

soldering with a butane torch, with both hard silver solder and<br />
soft solder, in order to add decorative items such as filigree,<br />
stampings, and rhinestones to the pendant. Learn to rivet to<br />
attach pieces of metal together. After four sessions, you will<br />
leave with a number of beautiful pieces and the know-how<br />
