Instructors
Most of the" instructors" I have seen knew nothing about instructing
They could fly but could not put together an orderly learning sequence.
Typically -instruction was a buddy cord setup and then- off we go! - the student simply chased the model and when he got in trouble-the instructor took over .
it was easy to see who actually got proper instruction- the planes were flown at various speeds and landing sequences were done by flying the model to ground -then powered down.
The original Seniorita was designed to permit self teaching -IF the builder followed all the building and setup instructions.
20 odd years ago i would trim my Seniorita- turn off the radio (PCM) and walk back to pits -the new guys would ask "where is your plane?"
I would just point to it and say it's parked up there .
A GOOD trainer can be setup to self correct very nicely.
learning to use power seems to be missing in many "teaching" sequences.
