Well back then the club didnt have anyone designated as a club instructor. The guy I had as my "instructor" wasnt a club member, but I ahd trouble meeting his flying times, in part due to my own commitments to my family.

Now, that said, Im going to waffle here and admit I should be at least a bit more flexible since these guys really are giving up there valuable time for me. (Which is why I am looking more and more toward a possible club when I can do it)

Trouble really is in me, I just feel really guilty taking up someones time that could be used for thier flying to help me out. No matter what other excuses I make for it thats the issue with clubs. The guy I had teaching for a while just got to the point he had too many students, so between his flying time and all the students together I got maybe one flight in in a 5+ hour day at the field. Not his fault he was a popular instructor he he..

I will note for those reading this thread my outlook is somewhat changed, and greatly humbled.. I was reading in the AMA section and found a link to an article about being a flight instructor. It was quite humbling to realize what the teacher goes thru just to help some semi greatful dude like myself learn to fly.
