^^ What a write up. Thank you! The lunch is a really good idea. May have to put that into play.
The older fella could certainly have had a bad day. Lord knows I've had my share. He did answer all my questions, but I was not expecting the way he did it because I have never experienced that kind of attitude from any instructor I've had in the past. I am going to go fly with him once and we'll go from there.
Advanced Instruction where I am is $50/hr, but this guy is $35. 172 in my area goes for roughly $110 wet and the club is at $80 wet. That's a pretty significant savings for an hour of flying, but a lot of it comes down to the guy sitting next to me. I've also just considered using the club to get my currency then get out of dodge.
Thanks again for the reply, certainly gave me a few other things to think about.
