We'll take it to a meeting. The next meeting is 6 weeks away, being Sunday the 1st of November, which was another reason why we put it out there. That meeting is quite some way away.
Dennis and I thought it would work, especially because there are more members right now than ever before, really keen on getting some time with an instructor. Time with very few other distractions around. Many of you learned to fly many years ago when you were much younger, as was I, or at our club more recently when there were not many fast-moving distractions around.
I need to be diplomatic now... the majority of our latest learning members are not in their teens, twenties or thirties etc. so will not catch on as quickly as they once did and will not cope with distractions as they once did. Having a focused 10 minutes or so in the air will make a big improvements to their learning curve.
I'm certain that an instructor will have some students that will be able to cope with other aircraft being in the air, but some will need to be alone for now. The gentlemanly thing would be to ask and be a bit patient.
This isn't a big deal, just like it wasn't a big deal when we were concerned with drone members taking over our field.

Everyone knows that REAL ENGINES are used by REAL men. Eklectic motors are best left for use in toothbrushes and other unnecessary things.
