After reading additional posts, I do agree that the same questions are repeated continually. I have been here since DEC of 2002, not a relative long time, but here long enough to know exactly what you are talking about. There have been times that I have responded to the same questions on different threads the same day.

So I took a look at the FAQ's to see if there is any type of guidance on how to conduct searches, or just an advisory for new people outlining how to conduct a search. I did not find one, although there is a thread at the beginning of the beginners forum on what type of plane to buy.

I now use the search feature every time I think about posting something. If I can't find the answer, or one close enough to my question, then I post. I wonder if the site is providing enough emphasis on searching before posting? At first glance I am not so sure.
