I have a student that I have been working with for about a year now. He's just not getting the hang of it. He can't fly below @ 50 feet without the plane being in mortal danger, let alone landing. I told him though that as long as he needs or wants me out there on the buddy cord, I'd be there for him. And I will be. A couple of the other guys have tried working with him too with no better luck. Oh well, he's having fun.
