A while back I had a student that was having thoughts about hot dog fliers getting too close and he thought maybe he shouldn't be flying. I told him in a loud voice " just fly your pattern and stay in it, he is experienced and should be able to stay away from you, if he can't > we can fix your trainer, he might not be able to fix his plane ". We didn't have any more problems.

Just stay in a set pattern when someone like that comes up and in most cases you won't have any problems. Besides, it's good to learn to fly with others in the air. ENJOY !!! RED
