Any time anywhere, my friend. You've been a good mentor for me... especially suggesting "Stick and Rudder". I seem to fall back to that book quite often. Never actually read it cover to cover, but hit the stuff that interests me and, well, perhaps I HAVE read it cover to cover!!!\
Now we just have to convince you to come down here to TN.

I suppose a mention of Stick and Rudder is probably appropriate here, given the thread is about instructing. So I'll just toss out here that, imo, ANYONE who proposes to teach flying (or, for that matter, any pilot) REALLY ought to [link=http://www.amazon.com/Stick-Rudder-Explanation-Art-Flying/dp/0070362408/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244817769&sr=8-1]buy a copy of[/link] Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying by Wolfgang Langewiesche.

It is, without any doubt, THE primer for how and why airplanes do what they do.

As the old saying goes, "You have me at a disadvantage, sir". *heh* Clearly we know each other, and I am expected to know who you are...but for the life of me can NOT place the userid, dangit! almost certainly a case of CRS on my part.

Ah well, I'll still be happy to buddy box ya, whoever the heck you are.
