OK, I cant resist ,

when I pay for something I expect certian things , the same would hold true in paying for an instructor ,

I would expect to be able to recieve instruction ,according to my schedule ,

I would expect as many hours as needed for me to solo, and at that point I would expect continued attention to the point of confidence ,

I would expect help in perfecting my plane , IE control throws, radio set up , and damage repair ,

I would expect !!!!!!! that is where the problem with paid club instructors would come into effect , when someone pays they expect ,

you think that demanding people are bad for free ,just wait until they pay for the service , you will not be able to say the time conflicts with my schedule, or Im busy right now , maybe tomorrow ,

but either way , you either fly and help because you love the hobby or or you fly and help because you want the money ,

one lends itself to promotion (love of the hobby)
one lends itself to exclusivity (those who can afford it )

in business terms , you can charge yourself out of the market , either in club membership , or in pilots who were instructed for the good of the sport who will in turn instruct for the the same reason.

whats next , will you charge for your time spent here advising and helping new folks also ????

its all in the picture when you start where does it end ??
