Default RE: Recommendations for those new to RC Flight

Like many of you I have helped many people. Most all of us agree on aircraft and methods. The last person I finished up with is 68. Kind of old to be learning. We can all agree not all 68 year olds are created equal. Not all students are created equal. We that are called instructors are a completely different breed. The student? Each is different and that is how I approach teaching. The last student may not be near the same as the new student. That is why I enjoy the beginners section of RCU. I get to learn how you folks go about the art of teaching. Never gave much thought to the small park flyer thing. I can see a advantage to it in some students. Some do well coming off the flight simulator. Others not so good. I try my best to fit the teaching to the student. Keep the good ideas coming. You are a great bunch giving up your time to teach folks this great hobby. Many of you strike me as people that get a charge out of seeing a student become a good pilot. In some cases a great pilot. Thank you all for the things you do.
