I guess I am tooting my own horn, but I've been flying for almost 14 years and instructing for over half of those. This is one of the first places I go on RCU to see if anyone needs any help. I usually look for the threads with little replys - those people may be looking for an answer that no one has gave yet. I'm just writing this to let any beginners know that for every bad apple in this hobby there is hundreds of people who are willing to give their time and lend a hand.
