I do have a couple of old students that may only fly once every few months and get upset because they don't get any better at it. When they do come to the field they may only get in one flight and BS with the other guys, that's OK too but then I don't want to hear them complain about not improving.
Don't you just hate that? It is one of those things that you just scratch your head about. A guy will come out and fly once in a month or once in a blue moon and then get hot about everything that happens. He'll crash or break up the landing gear or something doesn't work right and wonder what the heck went wrong as if to set expectations without practice?
My thought is, if you want to get better you have to fly and practice to get better. I love to see when the guys make a strong effort at keeping at it!
