''mentoring'' is my favorite part of this hobby! Would not trade it for anything. When someone looks at me and says, ''thats the most fun I have had in years'', after a buddy box flight, that makes it all worth while.
The hobby needs more people with that attitude!! - sure it's fun to play with our model/toy aircraft, our fast moving potentially dangerous aircraft. Noob's need to be not just taught to fly, they need to know the etiquette and safe practices that allow us to keep on enjoying the hobby, as without it, we'll all be grounded one day!
