Old video of Burt Rutan and Mike Melvill demoing composite strength.

There seem to be different focal points involved here.

There are the homebuilders. They are building airplanes and come here
to commiserate and occasionally brag a bit.
They share their experiences - good or bad.


There are the net heads. They don't build airplanes. They probably
think they could (if they wanted to) but find it more interesting to
watch and criticize those poor schmucks actually building stuff.
They share their opinions - good or bad - wanted or not.
It's all about being on the net!

Then there are the egotists. Dunno if they are building anything or not
- and don't care. They are always right - even if they don't know what
they are talking about. And even worse if they do.
They don't share anything.
It's all about them.


You know, you may be the smartest guy in the world.

But it means nothing if you can't cut a straight line, weld a pretty
bead, drive rivets without smiling , or wire up a light.

Or at least try.

The rest of ya'll are just a bunch of pathetic pud knockers.


Sincerely,

Richard
