You can seriously doubt whatever you want to, the fact is a lot instructors display the attitude they are God's gift to R/C and that the student is in some sort of boot camp and the instructor is a DI. I'm not saying people don't learn important thnigs like safety, yada yada yada, but demanding perfect takeoffs, maneuvers, and landings holding the student under the thumb until they can win the Nats is a bit extreme... Not saying that all instructors are like that because they are not, thankfully. Some just need to remember what the student wants/needs and not what the instructor feels is the only way to fly. :rainfro:
