I don't instruct so you don't need to worry about it.

Encouragement you say. Lets not go there. When a guy comes on asking for help, great but if I come on and say "today I flew so hi I could not even see the plane and without a buddy cord! " How about this oldie but goodie, Can I teach myself to fly? or How about a Corsair for a second plane? If some of you want to butter him up for a huge disappointment go ahead but spare me. Countless people leave this hobby because of events that happen based on bad advice. Some others ignore us completely and like to learn the hard way. Whatever!
