thanks,

we went to the field today and after watching me on take offs he backed down on trying, just yet. We were using his plane today, ( used the clubs yesterday and it handles better) and his is a little liter and tougher to take off. The right wing wanted to dip down ( need to check left - right balance), and we have the alierons setup a little high for him.

I was thinking about it and I think the idea of low pass's and keeping strignt down the run way at a lower speed is a very good idea.
I was mainly trying to find ways of getting this though to him, in a nice way. I understand he wants to get on with the training, but it takes time and practice.

Still it would be nice to have a SET of guidelines for starting to land and takeoff with a new student. Just some things they should be able to do with some degree of ability!

If this keeps going I will start a list for myself and anyone who is interested.
