with reliable information from a reliable source.
That is my hope for all. I wish all new users could have someone walk them through the process. Most will never have that. I am not suggesting they engage in hours of reading. I just suggest that having those two publications on hand can give them the resource they can turn to rather than the plethora of bad info that is so readily available on the internet.
I agree with all you have contributed with the caveat that most are not so fortunate as to have you as their friend to help them do all those “cool things”.
Happy Flying and Merry Christmas.
