A perspective from other end of spectrum...there is nothing that gives you the willys more than an instructor who hasn't got his s**t together. Its enought to make you change schools. I agree fully if you are going to instruct, learn the trade. Do not be a seat warmer. My first instructor was aerobat rated and it shows in confidence and attitude. I had one instructor who was a NASA graduate and it showed too. Face it the student is paying to LEARN. Your attitude WILL be immitated. Being an instructor isn't just another rating. . .. .Tell me do we still get a demo on airstarting a stopped prop as part of the GFPT like it used to be for RPL. Whats more fun..stopping it or starting it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Regards
