Not all instructors are perfect, or know it all. After all they are human. Besides, I would hesitate to learn from one that would say they know it all. I have been lucky in that all of the ones I have had have been very knowledgeable and helpful.

For the first few flights with my NexStar I would lose aileron control when the plane was at the furthest point from us. I had no aileron control, but he would take control (on his buddy box radio) and could bring it back - weird. At one point I put the transmitter in front of him and showed him that it was not me and I would move the aileron stick but no response from the plane. We swapped cords, radios, etc but same thing.

At home I took all of the electronics out and the only thing I could find was that the aileron server did not appear to be plugged all the way in to the receiver. That must have been it because after reassembling I have not had any problems. Of course it would preflight just fine and everything looked good...

Congrats on your flight!
