Been giggling like a school girl all day.[X(]
Hmmm! No brute there I guess.

As for learning, I had no training wheels on my bike and am a self taught pilot @30 years ago. Don't recommend it though, as it was an expensive process at first. Come to think of it, crashes are still expensive.[:@]
I too crashed my way to success a loooong time ago.
I still do occasionally -- almost always from doing something that I know better than to do -- but what the hell -- lets do it anyway.

My last prang was a couple of weeks ago while ski flying -- I figured that the nice soft snow would let me get away with an inverted rudder drag in the snow [8D] -- nice hole in the snow. [:@]
