5.00Highly recommended, the Trot and Igor Instructors are professional and answer any questions you have. I told my instructor Trot my fear for heights and he explained that it would be a quiet flight and hasi was most calm and relaxing. My husband told Igor about his taste for heights and they had a lot of fun with all the adrenaline possible but always put our safety first. Thanks Trot and Igor... I RECOMMEND THESE INSTRUCTORS TO 100

5.00Ighor is more professional than you can imagine. He is very calm, always remembering that we should smile, experience with him was great. It was relaxing and not scary. You won't be afraid of him. During the flight, he remembers important points, is careful of postures and takes lots of photos and videos. He's amazing, I've had the best experience of my life flying with him
