Even though I have read this entire forum and I have even posted I feel that nobody has heard me, even when they are complaining about no nubies replying!!! I'm starting to feel drowned out :drowning: . My first post was on the 4th page and no one even took notice, please read the forum better. For those that missed it, I would not and will not pay for instruction, even if the club used my sign-up money to pay the instructors, I would not join that club under any circumstances. If the club offered money to the instructors, every high ego know it all would become a supposed "instructor" to earn some free dough. I would much rather be taught by someone who enjoys the hobby for it sake itself and not for the paycheck. That way, he would care about my flying abilities and would provide me supurior training compared to an instructor with a paycheck. Its just simple common sense that this would happen 90% of the time, with the instructors that are not paid providing better instruction. Plus, teenagers are sometimes straped for cash and their parents are sometime unsupportive..... Why scare them away with more dues??! If anyone is concerned about this hobby, they would make it more accesible to teens who have spent their life savings on a trainer and need free and superior instruction, for these teens have made a commitment to stay with this hobby for life and breath life into it. Now you can keep paid instruction for those newbies who think that they need it, but I would never pay for something that you experienced pilots should enjoy doing (i'd enjoy it if i could). IMHO, keep this hobby a hobby and not a business or a fighting ground where nobody cares about each other.
