Flock 1 some good advice here, and here's my two cents worth. Like you, I flew with one instructor till my first solo. After that I flew with what seemed like a different instructor every trip. I had actually decided that this just wasn't worth it, because I just didn't seem to be getting anywhere, when I bumped into one of the clubs instructors down the pub ( go figure ). He asked how it was going, and I told him that I was done. We talked for a bit, and he asked me to fly with him for an hour. If I was still unhappy, the hour was on him. Well we went flying. We found out I really didn't bother trimming the aircraft ( rugby player no sweat ), that being a aircraft mechanic by trade I was spending too much time fiddling in the cockpit instead of outside looking. Bottom line I really didn't get it, but it needed someone with some consideration and professionalism to get it across. I got my CAA PPL, but I dont fly anymore as my gross weight now exeeds the gross weight of any aircraft I can afford to rent. But no ****** can take away the feeling. You're paying this plonkers wages - tell him where the bear ****s in the woods. If he doesn't have the CRM skills you need, get another instructor or wait for your main man to come back from hols. You have way too much personally and financially invested to let this neanderthal deprive you of the incontestable feelings you can get from flight. Here endeth todays sermon...
