No, you are absolutely correct. Stick with that attitude. You will find that those that snicker are probably crashing them left and right, while you fly the same plane year after year.

There is a string going on now, about instructors. A pretty good read, I think, and in it, I emphasize the role of the instructor as well as what some of the characteristics of a good instructor, including how to do a good pre-flight.

Stick to your guns. You are right on!!!
