If a majority of instructors had there students fly in closer instead of out in the north forty, they would not need to do this. I would not be surprised if every student pilot who has trouble keeping and eye on his plane, now looks down at the TX, then looks up? This little trick is cute for instrument training but looks like a bad idea around this hobby.
What happened? Well I lost track of the plane, so I took my eyes of it and looked down at tha transmitter. You did what?
Wow Trollmaster, I do appreciate your opinion on my last post about the Craptor. As a mater of fact I down right thank you for seeing it as it was. But this time I have to differ from you on this subject. You see I was taught by this gentleman and frankly I have seen him do everything he say's for the last 4 years.
Don't get me wrong T man I don't want to get into a debate with you because I respect your opinion. Fliers 1 taught me how to fly successfully in about a month. Landings and take off's also. For the last 4 years I have been flying a myriad of aircraft next to guy's that have been learning to fly on the buddy box for many years. Actually he has almost, if not everyone of his students land on their first lesson, several times. Everyone of his students are successful in flying in a extremely short period of time. When I mean a month for myself I mean I was flying a Fokker D-VII on my own, landing and taking off.
Every time he makes a post about his teaching method someone jumps on it, criticizes it and sometimes people agree. I guess this sounds to good to be true Fliers 1 but since you taught me I have the fortunate benefit to know your the best and so is your method. I have seen your absolute success for 4 years and a multitude of students from Italy, Texas, Ohio, California, Switzerland and so on and so on. The common denominator from all these students was ", I tried clubs and other instructors but I want to fly right now." Another words they tried the other way of instructing and got no where. In there own words, that I heard with my own ears.
The funniest story was those guy's from New Jersey that lost there flying site that was on a hazardous waste dump (, flying site's are being lost daily, even one like this.) You had him land his trainer and I was flying my D-VII. Even though it was his first flight I asked you if you wanted to let him fly this. I then handed you MY RADIO to MY BABY and let you have him fly it. Well you worked your magic and he was flying it with ease in about one minute. The whole time remarking, I can't do this I can't do this. I walked next to him and said ", sir your doing this" he then said "oh yea" LOL.
Hang in their F 1. These people just can't imagine what it's like. It really is to good to be true. Unless of course one would like to see you do this in person and post on this forum what they witnessed as to what they merely ass-u-me.
Happy landings,
The Doc.
