Thanks for posting that, btw. And yeah, a big ego can cause a lot of damage.

There's a guy in my club who seems unable to admit it when he makes a mistake, so all his crashes (and they are legion) are due to just about everything besides pilot error. Pretty funny, but he won't become a better pilot until he realizes where the real problem is. (note, it's funny because all his crashes are out in the over-fly, while he crashes a lot, he always does it in a safe manner. He's very aware of safety issues).
