I too have a friend like yours that assists me with building and flying. Besides being a good pilot, that understands what an airplane is doing and why it's doing it, he is a skilled craftsman. He's built well over a hundred airplanes. One year he brought home a prize from Toldeo. It's like having a voice activated library.

This hobby is a continuous challenge. As such, it is very rewarding. There are many steps to be taken along the way. Each one improving your abilities.

I agree with you in hoping that the Mudsurfer doesn't feel like he was being attacked. We were just trying to save him a lot of grief. This forum is a great resource for the newbie and the expert, alike.
