I have been flying for 28 years and have flow just about every type of plane from patter to jets. From what I have seen at my flying site it's not the 3D pilots or the Jet or heli pilots that I have to worry about! In the last two years I have been afraid for my safety because of the new pilots that are turned loose after 1 good solo flight! Most have never been put in an emergency situation before they are turned loose. Last weekend I saw several crash and one almost fly into the pits and hit me! One thing that bothers me is that after learning to fly, some new pilots go right from a trainer to a full blown war bird (ARF) and then wonder why they have problems! Stop Trying to regulate planes just because they are big or fly fast and work on solving the real problem! Poor training for new pilots.......
If I were you I would raise heck and ask my club to throw out those AMA instructors they sent from Muncie and have the club take over and start their own training program. Then maybe you could have some control over who is certified to fly unasisted. Man, that AMA has to quit interfereing with the way we run our clubs, don't you think?
