Default How to tell my instructor to increase glidespeed with headwind?

Where else would he go?

An actual student pilot has the actual option of hiring a different
instructor. Our resident ignoramus is unlikely to find a more
responsive, more enthusiastic group of people to stir up than he's found
here. Obviously, his advice only applies to someone who has available to
him a better instructor.

Besides, it should not be all that surprising that, given his inability
to integrate information offered here into his knowledge, he is also
unable to integrate advice of his own that he offers. Just because he
says it, that doesn't mean he believes it, nor does it mean that even if
he did believe, he is capable of following the advice.


It doesn't surprise me - after all it's impossible to fire an instructor
who doesn't charge you for his tutelage...

But then, the beatings he has taken from people calling him a troll (and
worse) would have certainly been enough punishment to seem like a cost.
It's been suggested that he try sim groups or even rec.aviation.student,
but he still refuses to go. Then again, for a guy who spends much of his
time in the alt.support.shyness group, he may have gotten so comfortable
with the regulars in this group, that it's easier for him to take the
beatings than it would be to try to engage new people on another forum.

One can never tell...
