By-Tor my friend, I will not divulge the name of said trainer, because it is not my place to do so.
I suspect from the high emphasis of quality placed in the design and structure of the HTC camp/enterprise, that they would place equal emphasis on the criteria for the position of trainer. All the trainers must therefore be persons of high stature within this warrior art.
Divulging said information, might be construed as a public statement that my trainer/teacher is better than the other trainers, which would serve no real purpose, and I would be out of line.
For one, my word does not, and certainly should not carry that amount of authority, I am new and untested. I would prefer to listen to people I respect in this regard.
For the second, it places an unfair psychological burden on the trainer so named
. This of course is a subjective opinion.
What I will venture to share is that I didn't actively look for a teacher, nor I think did my trainer actively look for any student, until of course he became an official trainer!
What happened was that I realised this guy was making sense to me. My reconciliation with the subtle art of aerial combat, has been something of a disaster throughout my years of combat fligh-simming. Many people have offered good advice, but for some reason, most of it evaporated before I absorbed enough for it to be of any use.
For the unskilled, finding a good teacher requires a bit of luck and for keeping your ears and eyes open. One persons perfect teacher might be a nightmare for another person
.
My teacher writes bloody good essays, and is infinitely patient with numb-skulls like me.
Cheers
Yosus.
