I appreciate all the advice. I may go ahead and finish up the last of my Pvt and switch over to a new instructor for Ist and Com. It is a small community, and there are alot of factors I omitted from my situation, which is the main reason why I have been hesitant to switch. I am not interested in burning any bridges in the copter world, and training is a team effort. Just feels a bit wrong to 'step out' on my teammate. Meditate on this... I will.
What were the main plateaus that you all experienced in your training? And how did you manage to overcome them?
