If the average person can't teach theirself to fly without a sim in one month or less then there's something wrong.
While I do know that many people learn on their own and maybe in a short time it is rare and not the adviseable thing to do. I pretty much learned on my own, relying heavily on the sim. But to say that there is something wrong with a person if he cant learn to fly a 40 sized glow plane in less than a month, all by himself there is something wrong. I guess there is something wrong with me and all the other flyers I know. None of us learned in 1 month and we generally had at least a little help.

The comment I made was not a personal attack, but you well know that at RCU comments like the one you made generally turn into discussions like the one we are having.


By the way we are not talking about the Protestant Reformation and coming along with "revolutionary" ideas and not being a conformist. Pete's sake its RC!!!
