Mike is as welcome to offer his advice in this forum as anybody else. While his abrupt style may rub against the grain for some, there is nothing that would justify me doing anything against him.

However, I do feel that this thread has ran it's course. This plane is way beyond the scope of this forum, and the OP has said they will start with a trainer. Because of some of the posts here I don't see any benefit for leaving the thread open, so I'm going to lock the thread.

Thread closed.
