Morning Steve,
BTW, Ive been flying Cliffs Of Dover since my new replacement joystick showed up,
Which is this= http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-Cybrog-...3540297&sr=8-1
And while I was at it I ordered this= http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-Three-T...3540337&sr=1-1
I've been learning how to fly in complex engine management with mixture, prop pitch, and throttle. I'll tell you it is not easy at all! I spent more time flying the plane and looking at gauges then looking outside the cockpit. lol

I love flying! My buddy is a pilot and has taken me up a few times. I flew a little piper (I believe thats what it was) for awhile. When I was younger I really wanted to join the air force to have a chance to ride or even fly a jet but found out only like 4% ever get that far and figured it wasn't worth the time and effort. I knew for sure I had all the right stuff to possibly do it but didn't want to waste half my life away perusing that one goal. I've always like G-forces and the more the merrier, loved being turned, twisted, tumbled, you name it.
When I was younger I had the thought of buying an ultralite and going out on a frozen lake and just practice practice practice till I figured I had it down good enough to actually leave the ground more than 10 feet and fly. Probably a good thing I didn't or I might not be here today. lol

I used to hang glide in my younger days, was a great feeling flying amongst the hawks catching thermals.

I keep getting different answers. It doesnt matter to me. So once I get a small group of people they say, X date is fine, then it will be set.
