I wouldn't call it being a wimp,i went to a fly-in yesterday and there was a lot of experience out there but when the wind came up they stayed on the ground and enjoyed talking to everybody.Seems it just makes good sence to me.
Now i'm mad because some of the members there asked me why didn't i bring my plane,they woulda buddy boxed me but it was my first "other club" i was invited to and didn't know what to expect,o well,next time.
