RE: Young Instructors
I was the youngest instructor at our field when I was a kid. I was teaching most of the students. Some of the older guys didn't like it and started coming up with all sorts of rules about # of planes you have flown, maneuvers you had to be able to do, and a bunch of really stupid stuff. All the people that I taught said you can make any rule you want, but they were still going to work with me. The rules didn't last long because I wouldn't play their game.
Sounds like you are doing a good job. Keep it up. You learn a lot from teaching, and if you are good, you build good instructors to help you teach.
