RE: Protecting yourself
All good advice. Let me add something for down the road. I got into the habit of doing things a certain way and to some extant these habits are good but there's this rule of the universe called Murphy's Law. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong and at the worst possible time. As i got into the hobby I brought more and different planes to the field. Everyone loves for people to make a big deal about their work and you will get distracted. My resolve for next season is to wait for people to leave me alone so I can go over things properly and keep to my routine. Otherwise Murphy WILL bite you in the butt or I quess in this case you hand.
