ORIGINAL: piper_chuck It's kind of funny that some people have gotten their bees in a bonnet, and have to resort to exaggerations, in response to a much needed reality check.
Thats funny chuck. No, my bees are not in my bonnet over this or you( mr reality check,lmao). And I don't think I'm resorting to exaggeration myself, there are plenty of stories to back me on that one. You're the one who said " For every one who made it there are probably 100 OR MORE who gave up..." Now who is exaggerating? I guess you keep a count.
I just rather give a positive vibe to someone that wants to try it on thier own, not be negative. If someone started a thread asking if they should get an instructor to learn how to fly, I would not sound in saying not to. And I would not tell them they should try it on thier own first. I don't go sticking my nose into others beeswax.
Ge Force was asking if it can be done and I just gave some positive reinforcement, and then some suggestions. Perttime gave real good advice to get a less expensive foam plane first. Seems to me your the one with 'bees in the bonnet'.
