Ok I can't stand it any lomger. here's my two cents.........

It's a good thing Orville and Wilbur didn't subscribe to the "Homemade Ariplane " website or they probably would have never gotten off the ground because of the naysayers. No they didn't have a pilot's license, authorization, qualification or passed any tests that said they could do what they were about to do. But they had tested their idea and had the confidence after doing their homework that their idea would literally fly.

We have to do the same. this is a relatively new frontier - yes we must do our homework, yes there will be failures - but eventually we have to put our selves in the seat and see if the thing will "fly"

My personal thanks to everyone out there that is willing to step out and try something different. This is the stuff that Jules Verne and a billion kids out there dream about !
