Hah, I've been lurking here for a while but this compelled me to post. bclark was actually my tandem instructor on both tandems, and I appreciate the effort he put into teaching me a multitude of things on those two jumps. Like it was said earlier, a good tandem instructor really can boost your confidence in yourself for AFF. In regards to blind adrenaline love, monkeys, AADs, and remote controllers, I've done a few AFFs with a couple instructors now, and he did a great job in retrospect.
