Dudley Henriques wrote: I take the post and use it exactly as I did here to make it a negative example for any student who happens along the path. I liked your approach. Many others have taken a different approach. The difference is that you used this as an example for others, while others have attempted to directly attempt to disuade the OP. I think the latter a losing proposition in this particular case. - Andrew Without knowing anything but what I have read from the IP, I would tend to agree with your assessment. But I don't blame those who have tried to set him straight. In matters of flight safety , I will always opt for even the slightest chance at setting someone straight on something as important as an issue like this. If it's a waste of time for the IP, at least you can bounce off him to get through to someone else who might be more receptive to common sense. It's been my experience through the years that taking the time to deal with issues like this one can pay off big time. After all, if you manage to save just one life by stopping long enough to shed a bit of light on the truth, it makes this whole Usenet thing worth while...at least for me anyway :-) But you're right. It tries my patience sometimes doing it! :-) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot; CFI; Retired dhenriquestrashatearthlinktrashdotnet (take out the trash :-) Dudley, your one of the only one! I have learned a lot on these usnet groups. I AM NOT A TROLL!!!! Werid I seek instruction report back and get flamed! Believe me, if I was "flaming you", you'd know it! :-) It's just that some of the things you are posting here are bothering me and I'm puzzled as to how you can view things the way you are viewing them. For example, in another post, you make an issue out of the color of the airplane and whether or not the airplane belonged to you or not. These things aren't important to this issue. Only the fact that you have said you rolled a non aerobatic airplane and seem to be quite proud of doing that. Then you have attempted to justify all this by saying in another post that you had a competent instructor on board when you rolled this 150. Trust me on this one. Any CFI who would sit there fat dumb and happy on his butt in a Cessna 150 and allow someone to roll it is NOT a competent instructor. Hell, I shouldn't have to tell you this. You should KNOW this! The act was not only unsafe, it was illegal. And then you come on a student pilot's newsgroup and proceed to tell the world that they should "live for today". I'm sorry old buddy, but FWIW, I just don't see aviation like this, and I sincerely hope that I've got an odds on chance of convincing YOU that this is NOT the way to approach your flying. If you have any respect for my opinion at all, I may have succeeded in pointing you in a different direction. If not, at least I tried. Hell, I'm not out here to flame you. If I thought you were a troll, I wouldn't waste my time on you. You think about what I've told you. I can't "make" you think differently. That's entirely up to you. You can take that 150 out tomorrow and roll it again. I can't stop you. But then again, after any sting from what I have told you wears off a bit, maybe you will end up with just a little better handle on this. If that's the case, you don't even have to let me know about it. It's just like playing golf. If you cheat, you're cheating only yourself. I don't post here to show people how much better a pilot I am or how much smarter I am at flying then they are. Like most experienced pilots, I post here because I feel it's necessary for people like myself to at least try and pass on to those coming up what I learned from those who came before me and what I learned on my own. When I post like I have to you on an issue like this one, I'm not trying to better you, or to make you "look bad". I'm not that shallow. In the end, YOU will have to decide for yourself about what's safe and what's unsafe in your approach to flying. As for me.....If any small input from me has helped you and others to make good decisions along these lines, the time and effort I have taken on this group will have been well spent.
