102.1More on CMRCMLEDS::LEWISFri May 15 1987 15:2720
    I also recommend CMRCM, I live in Northboro too and the flying field is
    5 minutes away.  I'm an instructor in the club but don't go out
    Tuesday and Thursday nights much.  You will find that many experienced
    people in the club are more than happy to help.
    	I do most of my instructing at lunchtime during the week,  as we
    work five minutes from the field and it's a lot easier to teach when
    there aren't several planes in the air.  If you do join the club, I'd
    be happy to help out on weekends when I'm there, just look me up. 
    	The club does not allow beginners to fly alone, for their own
    good and the good of the other people at the field.  You will
    understand why after your first lesson.
    
    P.S. Re .1 - Charlie isn't the club president any more, he finally
    had to step down after several years of service because he knew we
    would vote him in every year.  His sidekick, Steve Sherwood, is now
    the president.

        Re:< Note 166.3 by LEDS::LEWIS >

                I must  recommend Charles River Radio Controllers (CRRC).
        They have what  must  be  the  best  flying  field around (in the
        middle of the Sudbury  extension  of  Fort  Devens) and have good
        control over radio frequencies, general  safety  rules  etc..  In
        addtion, they have a bunch of  extremely  good flyers and a bunch
        of very helpful instructors.
        
                Some people find them stuffy and too  stringent on safety
        rules. I totally disagree.

102.3Westford instructorsDANUBE::JORGENSENTue Aug 09 1988 21:256
I'll second what Jim said.... but the 495th also flies in Westford at 
the Howard field... and there are several instructors that fly there.
Dick Bartlett is there on a regular basis(weekend AND weekdays), and he 
is a *great* instructor.  Give me a call or mail if you'd like more details.

102.4not all instructors are created equalLEDS::HUGHESDave Hughes (LEDS::HUGHES) NKS1-1/E3 291-7214Tue May 02 1989 21:3116
    Just to clarify one point: Instructors.

    The correct definition of instructor is: An experienced pilot who is
    personally recommended to you by one or more pilots whom he/she taught
    how to fly.

    This is in contrast to the wrong definition: Somebody who tells you
    he is an instructor.

    The difference is subtle, but extremely important. And don't be
    scared away by people who tell stories about instructors who cracked
    up people's planes. It may have been the instructor, or it may have
    been the plane. But nothing beats a personal recommendation.

     Could a member of CRRC please provide me with a list and phone
    numbers of some club instructors. I just joined the club but have
    not gotten the new letter yet.
