none of this post really is making much sense.
I thought you said that YOU had crashed your plane?
Also, I only got a chance to fly with you twice and both times the wind was over 30mph so we both agreed to land and not risk the plane. It even flipped over in the wind on the runway.
The guy that you say never flew and never needed a checkout is not true.
You are speaking of Chris. Who never flew a model before but flew a simulator for 6 months.
I took him up on his first 4 flight, and he was a natural.
On his very first flight he was making perfect patterns and he made 6 perfect spot landings. Never once did he seem like he was not in total control and I signed him off.
He is the exception, not the rule.
I have to say that of all the clubs I have been apart of, this is the very best in terms of pure friendship. Everyone of these guys would bend over backwards for every single member and I have seen it time after time.
If you have concerns, tell us! How will we ever know if your unhappy if you don't say something?
Shok,
It wasn't my intent to drag the club or members into this and i won't,i stated what i felt yesterday and that's all,sometimes we have to vent and maybe it was wrong but i can't take it back and after thinking about it why should i ?,i have never mentioned the name of the club here or it's members,what i say is "the field or flying field" , and it's either "he or they" concerning people out there,no real names or place as it's not right.I asked you about a big stick i think and you mentioned it was harder than my trainer ,i think i said it crashed but never went into details as it doesn't matter who did what,maybe i did something wrong but he didn't want to say anything and that doesn't matter.What does matter is he feels bad about it but what's done is done,if he want's,i'll still fly with him as he's good and understandable and yes i know his schedule and it's hard for him right now,he's free on mornings thru the week but i have to work,no work no pay so i figure since wednesday is student time i set that time aside to fly,sometimes he cant make it,i also wait til saturday which i know isn't always the right time for students but i try anyway.The person i was refering to is you on a saturday i asked you if you would take me up,weather was almost perfect but you were trying to hang your plane and said not now,i asked you later and you said something about the engine wasn't running right so after a few minutes i walked off,go back and read post #5 "the day he told me he didn't have time for me kinda burnt his bridge,however since it was on a regular fly day it was his choice " ,maybe my words were a little strong but that's what i felt like that saturday.
The club is a good club and your right ,all the members are willing to help and i like them all,i also like to help out myself.No i didn't wait til 7 pm to post this,it was the time i got on here and i forgot about the meeting being this week,i thought it was next thursday,ya'll can spank me if you want.Tomorrow is saturday and if i'm still welcome i just might show up to fly,no hard feelings but i can belong to more than one club can't i ?.
