I have a friend that went to a flying field in central Ohio north east of Columbus to learn to fly. They were extremely picky. Even after he soloed, they would not let him fly without an instructor present and that the instructor inspect and fly the plane first. Then he could only fly when one of the cheeses didn't want to fly.

Needless to say, he doesn't fly at the snobbish club anymore. He is a very good pilot now with adequate self confidence and ability that he learned with us at our field. He flies whenever he wants to.

He had shown up at our field not with his trainer but with a new Uproar 60 with a Tower Hobbies 75 and a new computer radio. A couple flights on the buddy box, a few little transmitter fine programming exponential adjustments and he was on his own.
