We had maybe 6 active members until it got close to our big air show we held every year, then there were a lot more people for the meetings. I never did teach anyone how to fly at that club.
Beagle, you have a super duper valid point. My basic instructor was always calm, easy talking and easy to learn from. My advanced instructor?? Not so much. The man could piss off the pope but if you could put up with him you learned a bunch. I teach like my basice instructor and nothing ever riles me. Always calm. I have complete control of the plane if I want and I always tell my students they can't crash the plane so don't sweat it. I let them come close but as long as I have control of the buddy box no student has crashed a trainer yet.
If the person has enough time to learn I'm good to go. If they ask me to teach them then don't have the time I can't be bothered.
