Don't mean to be a jerk, but why do people go to the field and wait for someone to show up. When students here get ready, they pick up the phone and call one of us and ask us to meet them there and we do, test fly, teach them and charge them nothing. Is it that a lot of the people going to the field can't find a phone number of someone (most fields have them posted and ama has a few for members of the club) or is it that they feel the guys don't want to be bothered?

Trust me, the guys do want to be bothered. Most would like to help and most don't want to see you crash!
