Hi,
All I can say is WOW, so many quality answers.
To clarify: I recently got back into RC and doing good, I am practicing lots of landing patterns and touch and goes, and all that is going great. I am also teaching a friend the basics right now, he is totally new to RC planes.
To make sure I give quality training I will go through and practice the whole list myself and make sure I am doing ok there.
I think you have a good solid plan of attack. I agree there are many quality answers here. These flyers on the forum have many years of experience and combined information is extremely valuable. I am sure we each make our share of mistakes while "figuring" it out, yet there is a very helpful group of flyers here that take their time to respond to posts to assist. I have received the benefits of that myself.
It is nice to know that you are concerned about the level of training you will be giving. I hope more will take your stand when training others. I know it would make better flyers and also help them save some money too.
I had a gentleman tell me to have a plan every time out to the field. Not that you have to be so disciplined (that was not his point), yet have a plan and have fun while doing it. Get something accomplished. I will admit that was one of the best pieces of advice I have every gotten and has not once failed me.
Now when I go each thing I achieve, no matter how small, has more impact. I have grown more by that advice than any one thing I can think of and I need to include the information shared here on RCU and the giants forum
