I should know better than posting something serious on USENET while
still hot under the collar. I should also know that I if I'm not
exact enough that people are going to read between the lines and come
to incorrect conclusions.

I never said I changed instructors 4 times, I said I've had 4
different instructors. The first school choose to teach me with two
different instructors. I choose to stop training there because it was
too hot. I had no problems with the school, in fact I've recommened
it to a couple of fellow hang glider pilots. So at the first school I
had 2 or 3 flights with two instructors. At the current school I've
had about 20 flights, 19 with the same instructor.

I never said I had any problems with the instructors, or that I was
looking for a new instructor, but that I was frustrated with what I
thought was a standard teaching method as they all used it. I've been
around the net long enough to know to rarely mention someone by name,
for fear of either not communicating clearly or being misinterpreted.
I know one of the instructors I've had reads this group, I hope you
haven't taken offense at anything I posted.

I consider my problem solved. Buck Wild pointed out to me that it's
by design. In computer programmer speak, 'that's not a bug, it's a
feature'.

You will learn more & better what you figure out on your own, than
what somebody tells you. ...

I'll take a new attitude into the sky this weekend, and see what
happens. Thanks for all the feedback.
