RE: Any CFIs Here???
[quote]ORIGINAL: deadstick8409 The best student I ever had for basic was an RC dude. Solo'd in about 6 hours. Got his certificate before he hit 45. That was over 20 years ago, but I remember thinking back then how cool it would be if everyone was like him. I just got my CFII back after a 20+ year break, but doubt highly that I will ever exercise those privilages. More just to have I guess. [/quote] We have similiar experiences. My younger brother age 32 in March learned veryfast. He soloed a rc plane with less than 1 hour of actual Futaba time. My older brother age 38 soloed 20 minutes later and averages 30 broken props per year compared to the younger guys 1 prop because, he doesn't understand the flare. Rc is not for everybody and it applys to every other type of intrest. This guy is a pure example of what I'm talking about. He is not a person with a 10, or 15 year doctorate degree from LSU, quiet the opposite and makes more than most average doctors, because he is a natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rPFvLUWkzs People become poor, poor and I'm trying to build them up.

RE: Any CFIs Here???
[quote]ORIGINAL: cfircav8r Moms Mistake, Your theory on flight instructors is a good one if you are dealing with part 91 training, but when it comes to part 141 all of the information for each and every A/C you will be flying is required to be learned before flying solo. This includes all weight/balance, emergency procedures, V speeds, etc... You will know the A/C inside and out for every make and model you fly with that school. Some instructors from those training environments will continue the tradition even in part 91 training. Best advice is as you said be prepared to ask lots of questions. [/quote] I wouldn't fly Barry around for 1 second even if they put a gun to my head, not in a million years, eventhough I'm well over qualified. No sir!

RE: Any CFIs Here???
[quote]ORIGINAL: on_your_six Let me rephrase... flying models, the engine out dead stick landings have been the most harrowing/learning experiences... that is that you have to rely on training for immediate action... on completion, do a review of what you did wrong, what you did right and how you are going to improve no matter the cause... Instead of panic, I know that I can handle a real situation in a manned plane with that background. I have a private license (long no activity), the critical decisions can be during planning on the ground. I have read Flying Mag cover to cover every month for the last three years. I read all the NTSB reporting. [/quote] Excellent!

If you listen to the business news, you would know that we are flooded in debt and the Chinese are flooded in cash. Do not make the assumption that, since we are dumb enough to buy their cheap ESCs and batteries that they are not capable of producing a great 5th generation fighter. Only time will tell.

RE: Full scale flyers....roll call.
Received my commercial at 17, more importantely my instructor ask me in 1990 I believe it was if I was ready to solo and I said yes, when in fact I wasn't ready. Luckly I made it ok, eventhough a dirt dobber got stuck in the pitot tube and I had no airspeed reading. With my arms and legs shaking like crazy and in semi-panic mode I eventually landed the Cessna 152 knowing my father and mother were looking on and didn't wanna crash/ die in front of them. I guessed my speed by the responsiveness of the controls and the sound of the wind hitting the wings which I had never been traind for. I had only 3 hours solo prior to this flight and survived because of determination. My instructor was killed in 2001 in a Beechcraft E-55 with 5 others onboard. His report can be found in this forum labeled R.I.P. James Seaman that I started. He didn't have the experience to fly that plane but yet was allowed by law/ FAA. To make a long story short, there are severe changes that the FAA needs to make and me and my instructor ( James Willard Seaman ) are proof. The FAA needs to apply more regulations, restrictions, hours for new pilots and stop killing innocent people. Enough is enough and I'm not happy with the FAA, not at all. I quit flying all together because of the FAA. CHEERS...

Rc aviation for me because it's so much harder than full scale. When I started rc planes over 20 years ago it was hard, but not so fun the last 15 years. I mostly teach youngsters how to fly free of charge these days.
