Netters: WHen I was a very low time pilot, I used to walk around wondering what I was missing......guys who were veteran flyers would speak about such things that I never heard about from my instructor. Things that come to mind are engine-alphabet-soup, hot air intake, variable pitch props, ground loops, and (gulp)composite airplanes. I soloed in 7 hrs and exam'd in 42 hrs, passing with ease, yet walking away feeling like I hadn't learned much. I made it a point to listen to things I never heard, then go and READ everything I could on the subject so I knew what the hell the old bench fliers were talking about.
My point: Don't fear talking about things such as primers and the like.....many young pups are out there listening and eager to learn, yet smart enough not to take what you say as gospel. All you're doing is spawning a learning process, and that's a very good thing.... Before I came to this group, I though a longeron was a new species of fish thought to be extinct. Fiberglass? Corvettes and boats, not airplanes.....Boy did you guys show me a thing or two. Keep on keepin' on..........you're a wealth of knowledge and us sponges are here waiting to soak it up.
