I learned from a club. I helped where I could, but there was never
any pressure to do more than offered. A&Ps help save a club a bunch
of money if they volunteer in a maintenance capacity, but I'd think
you could pass on being the club A&P without too much problem.


I do understand that, and I feel guilty, but I also need to think about
liability. The planes I saw weren't exactly maintained like the
aircraft I'm used to (airlines) and my ticket means more to me than
helping a club save a few bucks.
