Please help your instructor teach you. I was training a middle aged guy on the buddy cord and was getting very irritated. It seemed that everytime we were going to fly he had to spend hours contacting his friends so they could go with us. By the time he could gather up his group the wind would start blowing and he didn't want to fly because he though it was going to be too much for him. If i had a dime for everytime i heard "why don't you just fly it and show them what it can do" On days when the wind was still dead calm i would hear "i'm nevous there is too many people here". I love teaching people to fly and never try to embarrass the person i am teaching but please don't waste our time. Learn to fly! THEN invite your friends. Get some time under your belt before trying to play the hero and introduce people to your new hobby. Remeber what your intructor is there to do! Help YOU learn to fly. Not put on a demo for your buddies. Don't shoot your self in the foot by inviting people you don't want to see you crash.
