Default RE: RC flying school..

Seriously, what qualifies someone as a "professional rc instructor"? Is there an RC University (RCU) out there somewhere that has "certified" (by who?) instructors? Just because a guy is a world class pilot, does not "necessarily" mean he is a good teacher. There are a lot of very average pilots that are some of the best teachers due to their patience and attention to simple details.

I am a "inept" instructor I reckon, although as far as I know not a single of of my students has crashed during or after training until perhaps they decided to push the aerobatic envelope. There are about 1000:1 instructors out there that do a nice job of thoroughly preparing students for unassisted flight.

Giguchan, I understand your dilemma and why you are asking for professional help. It sounds to me like what you are really looking for is someone that will commit to take the time to train you. Its not quality training you lack, you just need someone who has the time to commit. If you can't find an instructor at a club, then going to a person who charges may be your only, albeit unfortunate, option.
