RE: Do you consider checkbook modellers to be second class citizens?
I don't think a "checkbook modeler" is always a PITA. The guy basinbum describes sounds like a borderline case. I think the safty officer at Basinbum's club should request him to have some buddy cord time with one of the instructors and figure out why he is crashing so often. Is he hotdogging? If he is really bad he may just crash into someone some day. If he is taking huge risks by flying extremly close to the ground or pullin off extreamly violent and trickey manuvers at a safe distance then I see no problem.
