I must be slow, because I still don't get it. What will the paid instructor give to the newbie, that can't be given by club's instructor? What are the resources you are talking about, that can't be given by club?
- Flying field is full? So you think the newbie will payoff all the guys to go away because he is going to take a lesson? If so, let's say now the guy paid couple hundred dollars and he can fly. Where? The club is full. On his backyard? That maybe makes sense, somewhere in deep Arizona, but not at least in Sacramento area. Unless you are so rich, that you have your own flying field, but then you can afford to hire a full time instructor. I don;t have a problem with that.

We don't fly for living. For us it's a fun. And I'm that kind of guy, who want's to share this fun with others. I wouldn't even show up at the field when everybody will ***** me, just because I'm a new in this business, and will like me, because I'm paying them to back off.
I have much better ideas of spending free time than fighting with the people. I would rather take a park flyer and fly on my street.

And answering you question, yes - you may join us any time. Be nice and helpful to others and share the fun.
