Of all the real or imagined problem in this hobby or sport, whatever we call it this week, there is one always positive thing. Instructors. Why do we do it? For me it is one of the most rewarding things in the hobby. A good instructor teaches more than flight. Watching a instructor working with the "new" person can be a treat. How that new comer will view this sport from now on will be formed by their instructor. All clubs seem to have one or two of those folks that are just great teachers and ambassadors of the hobby. The beginners forum is the one I enjoy most. I get a charge out of the little debates that go on about self taught and having a instructor. I have said it many times how much I admire those that give up their time to help new people. I have developed a admiration for all of you that try your very best to give good solid advice to the new persons. So much so, I now recommend to new folks visit this forum. Thanks!
