As most of the post have said, you just have to hang in there ill you find out the problem. Teaching isn't as easy as most people think and you will find out that a lot of yard birds will give a lot of advise BUT THEY won't teach, just give advice. It takes a lot of patience , undrestanding and holding your thoughts, also a lot of figuring out WHY ??. Hang in there you will find the problem and all will go smooth.

I had a student once that I couldn't figure out, then one day I just flat told him to quit trying to figuer out what he was doing and just fly the plane. It took a couple times but that was what he needed. He was trying to " Analyze " what he was doing while trying to control the plane. JUST FLY IT !!!

Something else that was suggested, a neck strap, I don't like them and won't let a student use them if I can help it. The other possibility would be a " tray " ( I don't like them either ) he may be having problems holding everything. ( us OLD folks do have that problem in different ways . lol ) Hang in there and ENJOPY !!! RED
