I guess I am a kinda laid back guy when it comes to teaching. I do a lot of ground school before we get to the sticks. I will take the plane up and show the student where the boundries are. Then I will do some circuits to show him/her what I would like them to do. When we get to altitude I will have them take their hands off the tx to show them the plane will fly without them. We strive to be as smooth with the sticks as possible. My function in the club as an instructor is to work with the first time flyers. After I have them for a short time then they are turned over to another instructor to do more advanced work. i.e, landings, mild aerobatics and those sort of things. Seems to work well at our field. I guess my things I bring to the table or soft spoken and not excitable. When we are done flying, I go to the rest room and clean up
