I had a bad instructor. Evidently the only practice this guy had was with other people's planes. The sad thing is that the club let this guy continue to trash people's planes. I think they finally put an end to it but not before 2 of my planes were trashed.

I am self taught. It has been almost a year since I soloed on my own and it has been a very good year. No major problems at all. I used a simulator with great success. There IS alot of pride in doing it yourself. I had already been on the sim before meeting up with the instructor and had no problem doing the mile high flight he had me do on our only successful meeting.

Here is my story:
