Homeguard, you have got to be joking. It is not about 'wanabees', but about being able to progress to the required standard to be a good instructor, able to teach all aspects of flying (PPL/IMC/CPL/IR/ME/Aeros/FI/etc.), whilst making a living. From a personal opinion, if I had not been able to earn money as a PPL FI, I would not have been able to progress to ME/IR instruction.
By all means have your 'club' where you don't have to pay for instruction. Just send me your business card, so that when I need whatever you do for a living done for free I can give you a call.
