Be exceedingly carefully about trying to learn to fly initially by committee, it simply does not work and if you do there is danger that you will still be trying to learn even years down the line! And that's the truth.

Do ask all the questions and Hydros Junkies list is a good start and don,t be shy but make an informed choice at stick with it for a reasonable time. If you expect the instructors to start playing musical chairs well the only one that is getting screwed is you.

Just a few days ago I noticed a gentleman that two years ago came out to fly and was going to be instructed by his friend and that went sparingly at fist then tapered off to nothing as his friend sort of blew him off without ever getting near solo and wreaking the first airplane; So now he show up with a new airplane looking a little lost and I offered him help which he seemed to want.

So spent several hours that day helping to get his airplane set up right and made an appointment to fly first thing in the morning and start getting him back on track. Next morning after bringing my wireless system charged up and ready he said oh what time is So and So coming and I said Huh. He thought and was told by his friend that he could just fly with a different instructor every time if he wanted. Well sorry no, that's not the way is ever is and a mistake by the student.

Now if there is a legitimate reason to make the change sure I welcome it but not on some whim.
