I have taught a 747 captain how to fly RC... good thing was his attitude. He did not try to throw his superiority around. He knew that he needed help to learn this task. It was not easy, but he is a great guy. The guys that you teach really appreciate your efforts. More than anything, I think that I use the skills of teaching more than the flying skills. talking-explaining-knowing when to shut up. I teach a technical class occasionally. It starts with a plan, and continues with adjustments. You have to let them know what the standard is by which they will be judged. Safety always first and foremost. Always tell them when you take control of the plane away...
