To emphasize the advantages of one-on-one flight training we will paraphrase a couple of our customers:


-If I'm going to spend $1,400 on a drone I better learn from an expert." 


-I want to learn about flying and the drone I'm thinking about purchasing. Better to learn on your drone than buy one and be disappointed.
