Hey Bald:

Hope you have a bank roll to support your hobby. We have had several new club members over the years who were pilots, and the last being a Jet Commercial pilot, who refused any help or instruction from any our club members. He thought he was high and mighty because of his aviation experience. Well, being that he is not sitting in ship, we have that word as I recall "perception", and feel for the controls.

We all sat back and watched or was it laughed as we knew what the outcome would be. He taxied out to the runway, applied throtle, rotated, and immediately dumped his plane. What a waste! Yep he did get airborne for about 5 seconds. Even if he did get into the air................you still have that mandatory (lol) landing.

Go for it..............."NO GUTS NO GLORY". Make sure you have a crowd there to entertain.

GET AN INSTRUCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
