Hi, sorry to butt in but just spotted questions about Colin ( Midlands Flying Training ). If it helps, I have also just passed A with Colin and agree with everybody else. He is a brilliant instructor and has become a good friend as well. He is always willing to help and advise, but also a good thing to keep in mind is, without training, if (when) you crash, you have lost the cost of your model, the cost of replacing your model, and you still cant fly so you will probably crash again. Believe me, I know, bin there. He is worth every penny, you also get very enjoyable flying sessions without the cost of joining a club until you are ready. Hope this helps. Regarsd Alan
