Default RE: First step to a corsair

Crashem,

No, I'm not saying that EVERYONE who comes here will learn how to consistantly learn how to takeoff and land a Cosair totally on their own within a couple of hours, what I'm saying is that they will be able to safely fly, even takeoff and land a low wing plane WITH the help of my instructor, something that apparently no one else will do nor even thinks is possible. But SOME may learn well enough to indeed learn to takeoff and land an advanced plane entirely on their OWN within a few hours or 1 or 2 days. But literally EVERYONE will at least get sticktime and actually know what it's like to fly a low wing plane such as a Corsair.

As far as passing on this teaching method, my instructor has been trying to do so for many years now. This is something that one will have to personally witness I guess.
But I imagine that you've probably read or heard about his teaching method on his website before. To tell you the truth, I was just as skeptical as you, if not more when I was told his this guy's amazing teaching talents. That is until he trained me to fly, plus when I witnessed him teach many of my customers to fly. Right now, I'm running into the same problem attempting to share this with my distributors such as Horizon and Great Planes, but at least they are listening.

Maybe it's a pipedream, but perhaps some RC industry member will finance my instructor's traveling out of town to give demonstrations of his teaching method and even try to teach others his method. AMA and several industry members are indeed fully aware of his talents. I can understand that people will seem to absolutely refuse to think that such a thing is possible, ( I'm just as guilty) but what I can't understand is why no one has ever demanded proof.

Don't know how much this will help, but check out the treads on this site:
