don't get me wrong, I have no problems with someone who wants to learn on their own, there's many success stories. it's the guy that comes to the field with a turbine, (true story) and after asking all the above questions, and all his answers are no, no experience flying, no sim time, etc etc, he bought it off ebay, then when you tell him he has the wrong plane to learn with, plus nobody in the club has a turbine waiver and show him an LT40 or an alpha 40 and his response is, "those planes are too ugly" what you do? what do you say?
How about "I'll bet they're prettier than yours will be if you try to fly it"?
