Default RE: Any positive tips on self teaching on .40 trainer

heh heh, this new guy (or troll) hasn't been back in over a week, so no big mystery what happened.

We had a guy show up at the field with a ragged looking trainer that he bought off of Ebay. It had ancient patches and an ancient engine that barely ran. He took a little help but was convinced he didn't need much due to his time on the r/c sim and his grand total of 80 hours in a Cessna. He buzzed my head when I was flying once, and almost got my feet when taxiing the next time. Tried to give him a tip or two, but he was hung up with his 80 hours of flight time and didn't want much advice.

He has been missing for over a month now. Guess we all know what happened........
