yup, i know the feeling. i was flying when i was 12 as well, and i took a lot of crap from other people too. they did not think i could fly, and during the later part of my 12th year, i had a cap 232 that i banged around when people said stuff like that. they would say stuff like "aww, look at that kid with that plane. that's too much to start with, you should get a trainer" and i would get up, go ballistic, and tailslide into a torque roll about 30 ft off deck and they usually did not talk to me again. if they are going to treat me that way, i would rather make an enemy of them and have them leave me alone then have him keep giving me "fatherly advice" and not recognise the fact that i am a decent flyer.
