You want thick skin then test me and see how thick it is, but don't give beginners bad advice on purpose. Somebody like myself or Wings knows better when usless BS is dished out... a beginner might not. I still see nothing wrong with his attitude.

Something I've noticed here is if somebody comes to this forum and even hints that they might not be a 100% n00b when asking about learning to fly they get totally ripped on because people assume they have a bad attitude. This isn't the first time. Indicating they might have some slight atvantage because of their background or history is NOT having a bad attitude.

He didn't ask if he should get a trainer. I think jettstarblue is the only one thet actually gave him an answer.
