RE: INSTRUCTORS : Speak Up !
I've been teaching for over 30 years and none of the folks I trained have had a problem with the plane coming toward them. Even though local members have seen me doing this for many years, they never asked me how I do it. I would be more than happy to show them how to do it, but it seems they have no interest even though other instructors stuggle with the problem when they are teaching. Can't figure that one out.
I can have anyone have takeoff and landing experience on their very first lesson and BTW, I don't use a buddy-box or snatch the transmitter method...also, I DON'T breath down anyone's neck nor hug any of my students. lol I also give the first time student stick time on low wing aicraft like a Supersporster.
Take care,
