Well gentlemen,personally, I believe in leadership, Not dictatorship.Yes, sometimes the two can become confused!! After reading the previous columns, it reads like the subject is already sanctioned by the club and it`s members. I`ve no knowledge of this. It seems to have been initiated by a couple of well meaning members to boost membership. The repercussions of which are already showing up. In all the years of my involvement with R/C flying , trainee pilots were supervised.... as in full size aircraft, by an instructor, till it was considered the trainee was capable of going solo. Buddying up is an excellent way for the newbie to learn fly, so that the instructor can take over the controls as and if required . The argument could be that we don`t have sufficient club transmitters/ aircraft, to satisfy the trainee requirements The above suggestion would allow every one to fly together. The odd incident is bound to happen, that is a fact or life !!
