Tom Ahawk - yes, unfortunately it is quite common for people to take up instructing purely for hour building. However, as Cruise Alt says - while doing so they can still be good instructors. The one you have clearly isn't working out for you - so as all the previous posters have advised - change!
You may feel a little awkward at first, especially in such a small organisation - but believe me, when you fly with someone who is really interested in teaching you, you will be so glad you made the change. I often asked my ab-initio instructor questions and he referred me to Trevor Thom's books - a good resource, but my instructor either couldn't be bothered, or on occasions simply didn't know. I got fed up with contributing to the running costs of his MG, and changed instructors
Good luck for the rest of your training.
