RE: Instuctor in Houston?
SIC + Dukester
here's a list of IF's
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LESSON FLYING NEXT SUNDAY you don't actually need to have the AVISTAR ready, I have powered planes and gliders we can use for you, with Buddy Boxes.Maybe it will be a better idea to NOT RUSH the assembly of your new Avistar. I am VERY strict when it comes to the condition of a student's plane and chances are you will miss or overlook something...give yourself TIME ENOUGH...its those little "details" that beginners miss that catches them every time. The trainer I am considering REPLICATES the Avistar only it is much bigger ( 76" w/s) so that should lead into your type of aircraft
IF you prefer to just SOCIALIZE with your group and NOT take any lesson, please let me know.
Reason is as follows : WEEKENDS at Scobee are usually very crowded. I don't have an urgent reason to go," OTHER THAN TO FULFILL YOUR REQUEST". I drive 52 miles from my garage to Scobee, and 52 to come back makes 104 miles. So you can understand that unless you want to be trained for the first time ( either your plane or mine ! )...I could save some gas+wear & tear.
PLease take this the way it is meant, exactly as written. I have no hidden agendas.
{{{{{{I DO have a big CUB that needs a maiden flight after a mishap, but as written above, I prefer the less congested week-days to do that. And weekdays are not available temporarily at Scobee.}}}}}}
IF you elect to take your first lesson, say so, AND tell me which plane we will use. Yours or mine.....This way I can prepare ahead.
It'll be OK if you advise , even up to early afternoon on Friday.
Here is a picture of what I offer. You can learn on the powered plane, or you can "practice" flight on the GLIDER that gets releases about 1Kfeet high, your CHOICE. Both have Buddy Boxes.
