Red face Changing Instructors

Fellow P-Pruners.... If anybody is like me and doing a PPL at the moment then some of you might be able to relate to this (?). I am currently training with a single instructor 25hrs who basically is somewhat lazy and is quite moody. More annoyingly when I ask a question he looks at me like I'm an idiot and sometimes doesn't even try to answer it....."You'll have to read The Book (Trevor Thom)" is a frequent reply.

There are only three instructors at the club, one of which is an examiner so I can't fly with him in the preceding 10 hrs upto my General Skills Test (shame because he is an excellent trainer and pilot). The other guy is very approchable and offers information easily without needing to be prompted, he does not have as much experience as my current instructor however I feel I may gain more from his teaching.

Is it common for Instructors to simply be interested in hour building ? He always seems pre-occupied with something in his mind - god knows what though !

If I ask to change instructors this may cause waves at the club (?)

Any suggestions from anyone that has been in a similar predicament or is in fact an instructor themselves?

Cheers Gents
